Chapter 14: Before my Body is Dry

"She did it! She did it! She did, did, she did it!" Mako jumped off her seat out of pure joy, seeing how Ryuko got their hands-on a sweet victory (Pun intended). While Gamagori didn't seem to be bothered toward Mankanshoku's attitude, the same couldn't be said for Inumuta which was distracting him from accumulating data from the battle. Her round of happiness would then end once she saw Nonon on a tracksuit sitting beside them, still not recovered from her love coma.

"If we exclude your short-temper that made you lose your battle against Matoi, I can thank you for giving me data." Inumuta told Jakuzure while still having his attention on his laptop.

As for Nonon... she was still on a trance and drooling over Akira's compliment, a group of One-Stars had to carry her over to the bleachers and put her a tracksuit. We could say that the love bug that sting Jakuzure really poisoned her to an extreme extent.

"Hmph… I could say that I owe Matoi one for shutting the snake for once, even if it is temporally. Her poison can get quite irritating if you ask me." The programmer complimented Matoi before beginning to type on his computer again. Mostly just being his

"Hey, um… Aren't you gonna say anything Gamagori? You know, with Ms. Jakuzure wearing a tracksuit and all." Mako asked the former chair of the Disciplinary Committee as he seem apathetic about Nonon's choice of fashion.

"Sorry Mankanshoku, but I would never cross a line with a lady. Besides, I no longer have the authority to scold a fellow pier." He responded while trying to not look.

"So, do girls get a free pass?"

Sometime later, the Shadows finished up fixing the arena alongside collecting Kurusu's scattered Persona Fragments. "Congratulations for your victory, Ryuko Matoi. It seems that my judgement on you was quite rather harsh. You seem to finally show some resolve for once." Satsuki surprisingly congratulated Matoi for her victory against Jakuzure, it was a bit unreal.

"Yeah, yeah! Enough monologues already! You're only wasting oxygen." Matoi didn't thought it twice before pointing her Scissor Blade to the spire Satsuki was standing. "We did what you told us to do. Your so-called Elite Trio are now the three dregs! So better not pull off anything stupid from your ass and spill the beans already! I'll ask you once again and you better give me an answer, Satsuki Kiryuin! Who killed my dad?"

Satsuki narrowed at the girl of the Scissor Blade before chuckling softly. "You're as clueless as always, Ryuko Matoi. Although your brawns have developed exponentially, I cannot say the same for your smarts. Have you perhaps forgot what I say earlier? Only one of you can emerge victorious." Satsuki clarified Ryuko.

"Wait! Doesn't that mean? Oh no…" Both Senkestu and Matoi looked at Kurusu with concern, watching the Phantom Thief growled in desperation. He already knew this a mile away, and it was impossible to avoid once Ryuko signed in into the King of the Hill final battle.

HEEL CLICK!

"Students of Honnouji Academy! We have finally reach the finals of the Sudden Death Runoffs! Our 5 participants have faced one another, giving it everything on the battlefield, using any means necessary to assure their position in the heavens!" Satsuki announced while her usual white light flashed behind her. "And now, we have reached the grand finale between the transfer Student Ryuko Matoi vs the former Student Akira Kurusu!"

The stairs from Joker's pillar appeared, signaling Joker descension.

"Of course, Satsuki Kiryuin couldn't let this opportunity pass away from her radar of seeing both of her enemies duel each other. I swear, she is just making the rescue of Lady Ann and the others harder and harder…" Morgana grunted before looking at Joker with worry. "Joker, I know that you hate being on these situations. Please tell me you have an idea in mind."

Unfortunately for Morgana, Akira shook his head, still being remembered his fight against Goro Akechi. He loathes being forced to fight his friends, but he can at least tolerate that if it was for the greater good. But this wasn't the case. They were going to be forced to punch each other in the face for the sake of entertainment. "Seems that Satsuki's mousetrap managed to leave us in checkmate." He had no other choice, but to descend and fight.

Satsuki then narrowed at Joker footsteps. "It seems that your legs are shaking, Kurusu. Just have this clear, don't let your friendship cloud your judgement. There can only be 1 winner, and better not hold anything back, or I shall disqualify you both." Satsuki reminded Akira and Ryuko. "As for you Joker, I desire a fair 1 vs 1 fight. I'm afraid that I must put your acquaintance out of commission for a while." Satsuki snapped his fingers, summoning a group of Fuzz Shadows who apprehended Morgana and made him wear a collar similar to the S.C.C., but this one had a different color palette.

"Hey what the!? Diego!" When Morgana tried to summon his Persona, he noticed that he was unable to. Which grabbed him by surprise. "What the…? Where is my Persona?"

"There's no need to sing that is the end of the world when you face a short earthquake. Your Persona will return once your collar is removed." Satsuki told the cat from a distance. "This is a special S.C.C. I requested Inumuta and Iori to create. By using your fragment, it has the power to forbid you from summoning Personas. What your feline friend is wearing right now is a prototype, so it doesn't have any lethal effects, yet… I'll free your friend from the S.C.C. once this match is over, even if you lose."

Akira was angry about what they forced Morgana to wear, but if there's something that he admires from Satsuki Kiryuin, is that she always is a step further and also fulfills her promises. "Fine…" He nodded before looking again a Ryuko. "Ryuko, Senketsu… I'm sorry that this must come to this, that's why I asked Mikisugi to convince you to drop the Sudden Death Run-offs.

"Wait! So you though that I was-" Ryuko stopped her cussing after remembering the ass-whop she had at the hands of Nonon. "B-but we don't really need to fight, right? There must be another way!"

"There is no other way, Ryuko Matoi. If you really refuse to fight…" Satsuki then snapped her finger, summoning a full horde of Life Fiber-Infused Shadows to surround the girl. "Then I'll have no trouble on taking the opportunity to dispose of you and your friends. And if that does not convince you, then maybe giving up after coming all this far will prove how inferior you are to me!"

That comment triggered Ryuko. She was about to make something stupid, until Senketsu talked some sense to her. "Whathever you say, you cold-hearted bitch…" She sighted.

"Good." Satsuki responded before the Shadows disappeared. "Begin!"

The horn sounded, indicating the start of the finals.

"No need to feel regret Ryuko." Akira told Ryuko while crossing his arms. "Whoever wins this one will only mean that whoever emerges victorious can take Satsuki Kiryuin." Joker then summoned Raoul and pulled off his usual dagger rather than the Tailor's Dagger. "So don't hold back, and show me everything you have accomplished so far!"

Rather than gritting her teeth in anger, she grinned in excitement. "The same goes to you, Fuzzy Hair! Besides, I still need to kick your ass for insulting me back then. After all, I consider you a rival, but not to the point of hatin' ya. Come on! Try to stop me if you can!" She Joked as she pointed her Scissor Blade at Raoul.

"I shall also give it all, Akira! You can count on it!" Senketsu promised to also do his part.

The Trickster then closed his eyes before smiling. "Very well, then let's put up a show no one shall forget!" Joker exclaimed before using Heat Riser on himself.

"Right Back at ya!" The angsty girl exclaimed back before transforming. "LIFE FIBER SYNCHRONIZE! KAMUI SENKETSU!"

Both teenagers charged against one another, letting a powerful war cry as they got closer, closer and even closer. When the 2 rebels clashed blade and knife, it provoked a red and black energy shockwave that was big and strong enough to blow away the spectating One-Stars, but none of the No-Stars. As if the shockwave himself only targeted the higher ups.

"Heh! Seems that your burst of energy gave you quite the boost. I can already tell you're starting to even me in strength." Akira complimented Ryuko as both were pushing their crossed weapons.

"What can I say pervert? I'll learned from the best! I want to give a shoutout to Mako and that pervert teacher for helping me coming this far." Ryuko responded with a smile on her face, before ambushing the thief with a straight punch in the face, sending him a good distance from the arena. "How ya' like that? Strategy!" She boasted herself while stretching out her suspenders, making her bazonkers bounce.

"Hehehe… Good shot! Seems you got quite strong…" Joker got up before changing his mask into Valkirye. "But let's see if you're strong enough! Deathbound!" Joker ordered his other self to expand his literal shadow, causing hundreds of hands to pop out from the ground.

"Ryuko! Look out!" Senketsu warned his wearer of Akira's attack.

The shadowy hands started to lash out Ryuko. But thanks to Senketsu's protection, she was able to resist such an attack. "I surely have, Fuzzy hair!" She exclaimed before throwing out her Scissor Blade just like a boomerang, cutting over all the hands before aiming Akira.

"You need to try harder than that!" Akira quickly made a backflip to avoid the incoming Scissor Blade before pulling up his Needle Gun and shoot Matoi, aiming at her arm.

Ryuko then evaded the upcoming projectiles with great speed, it made her look as if she had teleported. "Remember how a boomerang works? It always returns back!" She declared as she saw her Scissor Blade return to her, not before hitting Akira on the head with the non-sharp part of the scissor, crashing him into the ground. "How bout' that for a change, eh?" Ryuko asked with a grin before grabbing her Scissor Blade.

"Not too shabby." Akira gleefully replied as he casted a Mediarama on himself. "Now's my turn!" He exclaimed as he summoned Raoul before charging againt Ryuko. "Feel the grace of a Phantom Thief!" He exclaimed as both the thief and the Kamui wearer clashed blades, and traded blows.

"I must give it to ya, your resolve is quite astonishing! I'm proud on how much you have grown." Akira told Ryuko before striking her with a sweeping kick, making her trip into the ground.

Although, the girl quickly rolled far from the trickster to be far from him. "Thanks by the way. Ha! What can I say? You're like some sort of big bro for me! And little sisters are destined to surpass their big brothers!" Ryuko exclaimed before charging her Scissor Blade with red energy. "Ready for this Senketsu?"

"Don't try to dizzy yourself!" Senketsu responded before preparing himself.

Ryuko Matoi then began to spin and spin, until she now looked like a crimson twister. "Here I GOOOOO!" She exclaimed as the red tornado charged against Ren, who tried to block the attack with Raoul's wings.

"Go Ren Kick Ryu-, I mean come on Ryuko! Teach Ren a- aaaaaah…" Meanwhile, Mako was very conflicted on to who cheer on this battle. "Aw man! Why did my 2 best friends had to fight? It makes it difficult to cheer the both of them! D'oh! I wish they both could win!"

"Why so stressed out Mankanshoku?" Gamagori asked the bubbly students, seeming worried about Mako being very conflicted.

"Hmmm! I can't choose on who I want to win!" Mako responded in frustration while shaking her4 head. "Both of them are main characters, so it's impossible to know who will not win!"

Kurusu was about to be pushed out of the arena, but like a good Phantom Thief, they always have a plan B. "Unicorn! Vicious Strike!" He then summoned Mikisugi's Persona as the Unicorn made a powerful stomp on the ground, causing a shockwave strong enough to trip Ryuko and Senketsu.

"Ha! I'm still alive and kicking, asshat!" Matoi reaffirmed before getting up and stabbing her Scissor Blade on the ground before flinging herself toward Akira like a jumping pole, boosting herself and preparing a high heel with Kurusu's name on it. "Taste my Dragon Kick!" She exclaimed as her foot was about to land on Akira's face.

"Sure! On a million years!" Akira responded as he summoned Jack Frost to attack Ryuko with Bufudyne, which managed to not only hit her where it hurts the most, but also exploit his weaknes as she was blown away, covered in ice.

"I see! Since Kurusu has a dozen of elemental abilities on his arsenal thanks to his Personas, he's able to exploit his enemies' elemental weaknesses." Inumuta began his dump of exposition. "Due to their lack of clothing and Kamuis working with Blood, it would be obvious that they would be weak to ice!" Hokuta quickly wrote his analizys on his computer.

"Geez Nerd! Do you really think everyone in this school is dumb enough to see the obvious?" Nonon mocked Inumuta while sticking out her tongue.

"About time you awake from that love coma. You need to calm your emotions more often, Jakuzure." Gamagori told him while having Mako on his lap who was still very conflicted on who should she root for.

"What's the matter Toad? Are you jealous that Kurusu attracts the ladies more?" Jakuzure teased the giant before stretching her arms. "Anyways, did my beauty sleep made me miss something."

"We can put it on that perspective. It surprises me that the finalists of the Sudden Death Runn-offs are our 2 main targets on Honnouji Academy's hit list. Whoever wins or loses, we will at least have 1 nuisance out of the picture." Inumuta put the former Music Club President. "I know the bibles forbids us from talking to snakes, but I'm secretly rooting for Joker. It's just that he provides more interesting data than Ryuko and her kamui, apart from not hearing and watching Matoi's tantrums ever again." Hokuta redacted his point of opion to the Snake of the 3 devas. After Akira lectured him about to not always rely on data (Which can become very outdated).

"In that case, go kick her ass Akira! Tear that slut into tiny bits! And then, tear those tiny bits into even more tiny bits!" Nonon began to root for the Phantom Thief. She was still mad from being called a simp.

"You're wide open Matoi! The cold temperatures weakened you. Diamon Dust!" Kurusu used Jack Frost to produce ice shards above Matoi.

But luckily, Ryuko had an improvised idea. "Senketsu, you think you can resist this?"

The Kamui then nodded. No matter what it was, he had full faith on Dr. Matoi's Daughter.

"The here it comes!" She exclaimed as she was rubbing herself on such velocity, that the friction was strong enough to melt the ice on her body and warm her. She didn't stop from there as she continued to rub herself until she caught fire. "M-must resist… HIYA!" She cried out as Senketsu burtsed a green explosion, although not giving her a new form, it made Ryuko hold a giant fireball from her hand as if she was Portages D. Ace, also melting the Ice Shards surrounding her. "Need some heat!?" She exclaimed before throwing the fireball to Kurusu.

The Phantom Thief gazed at the fireball coming toward his way. But of course, he would not leave his arms cross and do nothing, so he grinned in return before changing his Persona into Lucifer. "Maybe you're the one who need to chill! MORNING STAR!" He cried out as the stars in the sky spin around before sending a deadly lazer against the fireball, causing a devastating explosion among all of Honnouji Academy, blasting away One-Stars all over the place and far beyond.

Lucklily for Akira, he was able to defend himself with Raoul's wings as usual from the attack. When the smoke of the impact cleared out, he noticed that Ryuko was missing. It didn't took him long enough to know the reason as he quickly avoided a projectile made out from red energy.

"SENKETSU SHIPPU!" Ryuko exclaimed as she seem to take her flying form as she continue to shoot more energy beams out of her Scissor Blade while Joker seem to struggle more with the upcoming attacks. "What's the matter Fuzzy Hair? Can't reach my height?"

"Damn! She's way to fast!" He grunted as he was getting more tired from all the dodging and use of his Personas. He isn't going to have another migraine from a flying enemy, just like how he once fought Futaba's cognition of her mother. "Then I'll need to slow her down!" He changed to Norn before casting Sukunda as much times as he could, some attempts failed while others succeeded. Thus, causing Ryuko's Rocket Dress to malfunction. "You're Grounded!" He snarked before shooting his grappling hook against Matoi, which managed to cling on her suspenders before pulling her back into the arena, causing one big crash.

Akira still was on his guard, as he was preparing the final blow. "Sorry that it all come to this, Ryuko…" He lamented before summoning Baal to prepare a Fist Missile. "But I'm proud of you from growing so much." Joker gave his compliments before aiming to his target. "Gods…" He locked on his target as the Missile was ready to take take-off. "HAND!" He cried as he launched his projectile against Matoi, but she had other plans.

"SENKETSU RAJIKAZE!" She changed into her speaker form before reflecting the missile with the leftover of music she absorbed from Nonon.

This caught the Trickster by surprise, but it didn't took him long enough to reflect the attack with Makrakarn. Turning the battle into a tennis match.

"Oh my! It surprises me how fast Ryuko managed to Rival Kurusu." Mikisugi commented from his distance. "That girl sure is something."

"So, your predictions Ms. Tennis?" Tsumugu teased Hakodate.

"H-hey! How should I know? Those bastards are reflecting that rocket so fast, I can't compute it! Just because I was the Club President of the Tennis Club doesn't mean that I'm an expert!" Hakodate fumed back as she was preparing her Sniper Riffle if things would turn out ugly.

The Missile could not resist so many reflexed, it exploded in the middle, sending both the Thief and the Kamui wielder far the end of the arena.

"KYA!" Mako shrieked! It was already heartbroken seeing her friends fight each other, but both losing is even worse.

"Don't freak out yet, Mankanshoku!" Gamagori tried to calm Mako's nerves as he made her look at the arena, seeing both fighters laying on the ground face-up and still breathing. And the weirdest part, both seem to smile.

"Ahahaha! Man… Never knew I would enjoy a fight such as this!" Kurusu seem to have fun with the current duel between friends. Whenever he faced someone, it was mostly for a greater good. But never in his career would enjoy a fight himself.

"Shit… You're sure are tough as crap, Fuzzy Hair… I've never had this fun on a fight for a long time!" She rejoiced back as she heavily panted to catch her breath. "Wanna finish this with one big fat final attack?"

"Be my guest."

"Then break a leg!" Ryuko quickly got up and hold her Scissor Blade as it changed into… "Scissor Blade: Decapitation Mode!"

Akira on his place, also stood up and changed into Lucifer again as he was ready to prepare a Gigantomachia.

Ryuko activated her thrusters on her back before charging against the Phantom Thief, which his friend also charged against the Kamui Wielder. Both were screaming with all their straight of their lungs, ready to make the final blow!

Until…

"Oops!" Nui Harime landed on the middle of the battlefield, forcing both parties to brake and cancel their attacks. The entire arena gasped by the mere sight of the girl, and it made Satsuki Kiryuin quite angry.

"Hey! Isn't that Nui? Hi Nui!" Mako tried to wave to her old friend with enthusiasm, unaware of her true intentions hiding behind that pink dress of hers.

"The Grand Couturier? What is she doing there?" Gamagori seem as confused as the rest of the Elite Trio.

"Wait, you know that chick?" Nonon asked the Toad who knew this girl more than the other members of the Elite.

"She is Nui Harime. The Grand Cortuirer of REVOCS and quote on quote "Akira's Number 1 fan". We met once Takaharu Fukuroda tried to attack us on Honnouji's Highway. If it wasn't for her, who know what could have been of us." Gamagori explained her experiences with the monster of a girl. "But… Why is she doing here? That's the alarming question…"

"What the hell? Aren't you that girl who stalks Fuzzy Hair?" Ryuko asked Nui which interrupted their battle, while Senketsu felt unsafe knowing that the Lolita had some type of sinister aura around her.

"Oh shit… The Grand Courtier." Mikisugi gasped by Nui's intervention.

"The Grand Couturier?" Omiko Asked.

"She's Ragyo Kiryuin's abomination of a girl in other words. Inside that annoying pinkish color, lies an unholy demon ready to slaughter you at any moment." Tsumugu responded while preparing his weapons.

"D'ah… And just when things were about to get more interesting." The Self-Proclaimed Oni Mask sighted, watching the duel being interrupted.

"Oh, hi Ryuko! Long time no see! You too Aki! I'm glad the both of you managed to reach the finals." She jiggled to the two, waiting for Akira's response.

The Phantom Thief didn't said anything in response.

The Grand Courtier puffed her cheeks in annoyance, until she noticed that she got surrounded by Satusuki's Shadows, ready to annihilate her at any second.

"What is the meaning of this, Nui Harime?" The Empress asked Nui Harime while narrowing at the girl, ready to act if Ragyo's personal tailor does anything brutal.

Rather than being afraid of the Kiryuin's new toys, she just smiled. "Oh, don't look at me with that frowny face of yours Lady Satsuki! Gosh, You made something this fun and you didn'tt invited me? Don't you know how I love these kinds of parties? Oh! You naughty, naughty sis."

"I'm not obligated into telling you anything." She replied, with hopes of Harime from getting bored and leave them alone.

"D'aw! Don't be like that. I though you and I were way closer that you give credit for, like 2 peas in a pod." She responded, playing with her hair alongside having that innocent smile of hers.

Ryuko's brain took 3 seconds to compute this, until… "Wait… HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE SATSUKI KIRYUIN'S BASTARD SISTER!?" Ryuko's heart skipped a beat out of the shock from what Nui told them, alongside the other members of Honnouji Academy being shocked on the news.

Satsuki let out a sight of frustration. "She's some sort a Step-sister of mine. We're not blood-related." She contested everyone's question before turning her attention toward her "Sister". "Did my mother sent you here? If not, then leave Honnouji Academy or I'll annihilate you, sister or not!"

"Nah! I came here all by myself. After all, I just wanted to know how things were going lately Lady Satsuki. Not like you're planning on turning against the Kiryuins or anything. I doubt that you from all people could do such an atrocity." Nui replied with enthusiasm.

Satsuki grew a vein on her forehead. Did she knows about her plan to assassinate Ragyo, or is she just messing with her? Knowing the High Tailor's behavior, it was pretty hard to know the true answer. "Stop taking my precious time as if it means nothing to you. Why did you come to Honnouji Academy? I hope you have a good reason." the Kiryuin told Harime with a cold voice, being prepared if Nui does a fowl move.

"Isn't it obvious? I want to participate in your tournament of course." Nui responded with a big smile on her face. "Come on Lady Satsuki! You know I'm as good with the sword as with the needles! Well, not as good as you of course! I just don't want to discredit my sis." She said while taking out her needle blade as if Satsuki accepted her request. She then approached Akira with puppy eyes and waved her body on an obnoxious way, causing the Phatom Thief to get uncomfortable and slowly stepping back. "Oh come one Akira! We're super-duper-hyper friends, aren't we? Can I take your place? Ryuko seems super-duper strong and I want to experience a beat-down by her! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!?"

Morgana was watching the drama occurring from Akira's pillar. "It's the girl from before. Wait! Is she trying to throw Joker off the arena!?"

"Have it your way…" Satsuki snarled before ordering her Shadows to charge up Megidola each one.

"Oh boy! Finally something to pass the time!" The Grand Couturier rejoiced as she raised her Needle Blade into the sky. "Oh well,

Auf Wiedersehen!" She exclaimed before doing one single gigantic slash, causing a massive shockwave all around the arena, not only destroying all of the Shadows in the area and leaving massive trails of Black and Red goo, but it also sent Joker flying off the arena.

"AAAAAHH!" The poor trickster screamed as he was falling off into the ground of Honnouji Academy.

"Oops… Guess I over-did it, but I'm sure Akira will be fine." Nui sighted while shrugging her shoulders, watching Joker fall into the ground.

Such feat froze the entire Academy (Minus Satsuki and Iori, of course) with a trance of shock. It only took 1 slash from her weapon to defeat Joker and a full horde of Life Fiber Shadows.

But one of those Shadows being a Bael was about to ambush Nui Harime before she could rest, but evil never rests. She shoved her hand on the man's mouth, only to pull the Life Fiber-Infused Shadow's Banshi out of its intestines. This caused the the Shadow's 3 heads to scream in agony before their limbs fell one by one, and die by melting into Life Fibers and goo.

"This is bad!" Senketsu warned Ryuko, acknowledging Nui's terrifying power.

"Wait! How bad?" Ryuko asked.

"Overwhelmingly bad!" The Kamui responded, watching Nui play with the Banshi she pulled out from the demon.

"God, if Satsuki's sis is that strong, then I'd definitely not want to meet her mother." Ryuko commented on how much a pain in the ass Ragyo could be in the future.

"What the!? Is that same thick thread Fukuroda's mech had! Inumuta, we need an explanation!" Gamagori ordered his fellow elite to tell them about what was that. But he was as clueless as his companion.

"Oh! Oh! I know! It must be the red thread of fate that connects us all! That must be it!" Mako responded as innocent as always.

"T-that's a Banshi. It's the vital Life Fiber infused with the will of becoming clothing. The essential Life Fiber that holds together other weaker Life Fibers that prevents them from dying out from touching normal fibers!" Iori informed the 4 from Inumuta's transmitter on his collar. "That's why Goku Uniforms possess so many layers to protect the Banshi, and whenever someone destroys a Goku Uniform, the Banshi is the last Goku Uniform to go!"

"So if I'm correct, if you destroy the Banshi, the Goku Uniform is destroyed completely?" Inumuta deduced, which Iori nodded in response.

"See? I told you it was the red thread of fate!" Mako replied as she pointed at Harime.

"Geez! C-can you stop patting yourself on the back Underachiever? Aren't you worried about your friend falling?" Nonon insulted Mankanshoku while still being shocked that her crush could be in fact dead from falling from such distance.

"I have a name Ms. Jakuzure, and it's Mako Mankanshoku! I may be an underachiever, but I still have a name!" She fumed back with bravery at the pink-haired girl.

"Did you just admitted to being an underachiever?" Gamagori admired the coconut-haired bobble-head's enthusiasm. "You have spirit Mankanshoku."

"You know Lady Satsuki, I was hoping that Iori would make your new Security Employees more durable, but I guess they're just as weak as your Goku Uniforms. Knock-offs like his are nothing compared to my deluxe line of fashion." Nui told her "Sister" while cleaning her Needle Blade from the Shadow's liquid substance with a pink silk handkerchief. "By the way Lady Satsuki, sorry for breaking you new toys. I sometimes can't control my strength." She responded while winking to see herself as innocent as possible.

"No need for hollow apologies. In fact…" Satsuki snapped her fingers again, summoning more Shadows. "I still got plenty more to spare."

Fortunately for Akira, me managed to save his ass by clinging his grappling hook into one of the Spikes of his pillar. Still injured from the ass-kick her "Number 1 fan" gave him, he was trying to recover. Akira was wondering… What is Nui Harime planning?

Back with the 3 Nudists, they went to the Academy's walls in order to have a better distance to snipe the grand corturier, with Hakodate getting ready to blow Nui's brains out.

"As if the Natural Elections weren't crazy enough, the Grand Couturier appearing out of nowhere must be the cherry on top of the shit-cake." Tsumugu cursed out as he was loading his weapon if the Grand Couturier would try to attack them.

"Umm… I'm sorry, but who is that girl? I swear, I can prescience an unsetting aura surrounding her…" Maiko Ogure asked Mikisugi from his communicator.

"That, "thing" my dear Maiko and Hakodate is REVOCS' Grand Couturier Nui Harime. If you though Satsuki Kiryuin was already bad new, wait until you get a load of this. Maybe not as much, but she's still a danger to humanity's survival." Mikisugi responded while watching Ryuko and Nui with his binoculars. "Don't let her innocent demeanor fool you. That abomination is a monster wearing a little girl's clothing. Mostly responsible for destroying any type of normal clothes without Life Fibers, she and The Kiryuin Conglomerate are currently trying to destroy the clothes of hope we're trying to preserve. Although not as powerful as Satsuki Kiryuin. She has more ways to kill you than any psychopath you could find. But, now that I think about it, I've recently discovered that Ryuko's old clothes are actually clothes of hope. Seems that Isshin did a good job on hiding the fact that he preserve normal clothes for his daughter before sewing Senketsu."

"And if she's here, we're pretty sure she's after 2 things: 1: Kurusu and his set of clothes as usual. 2: Destroy Matoi's Kamui, or even worse." Tsumugu added.

This made Omiko gulp some saliva out of fear, but she must put her bravery together. If she had the guts to defy Satsuki Kiryuin, a little sniping would be easy. "So in other words, I should better aim my shot at the girl who's copying my hairstyle." Omiko then shifited her attention toward Nui Harime's head. And even still, she had a lot of questions bouncing over her head. What are the clothes of hope for? Why is the Kiryuin going after them?

"A-are you sure? We're talking about the Grand Couturier from all people." Mikisugi warned Omiko.

"Ah come on! This Multi-Use lenses help me to away hit any target I want. If I was a goddess on Tennis, what is stopping me from busting some heads?" The former Tennis President responded with confidence.

Mikisugi closed her eyes for a moment before activating his communicator. "Kurusu, do you copy me? Seems that your dear friend has given you quite the bad time. Whatever you do, do NOT let her harm Matoi and her Kamui! I repeat! Do not let her harm Matoi and her Kamui!"

"As if I didn't knew how dangerous she is." The Phantom Thief Responded before casting Mediarama on himself. But due to this, he felt tired due to his heating battle with Matoi draining his stamina.

"Yeah, you can express your jokes later. Try to get Morgana out of there and meet me at Honnouji's Walls to organize us." Mikisugi ordered the Phantom Thief before ending the conversation.

"Anywaaaayy… Can I fight Matoi? After all, I haven't disobeyed any order you gave me." Nui approached Satsuki, obviously lying.

Feeling forced to fulfill her whim, she accepted her suggestion with some anger. "Ryuko Matoi, there seems to be slight alteration on your next opponent." She informed Matoi from her spire. "As the absolute law of Honnouji Academy, I've decided to change your opponent into Nui Harime."

"Oh hell no!" Ryuko got angry from Satsuki pulling another excuse to not fight her.

"Ryuko!" Senketsu tried to calm her fury, but it seems that nothing can stop the fury of a female tomboy that looks like Shadow the Hedghehog.

"Enough with the bullshit rules, you Eyebrow bitch! Fuzzy Hair fell down the arena, so I won fair and square! So get your ass down here and tell me who killed my dad for once!" The tomboy reclaimed the truth about Dr. Matoi's killer, but Satsuki ignored her temper tantrum.

"Keep the complains to yourself, Matoi. You better give it all on this fight." She seem to want Ryuko to win this one.

"Wait, you want me to win?" Ryuko was surprised on what her Arch-Nemesis told her, it made her twitch. "Since when the all-mighty Satsuki Kiryuin wished for me to win a battle?"

"Begin." She announced the start of the round before leaving to sit on her chair alongside her Butler.

"Your tea, milady." Soroi told his master as he served it to Satsuki.

"Thank You, Soroi." Satsuki thanked her butler before giving it a sip.

Soroi was worried a second, so he had to tell Satsuki about what it is. "Are you sure that Lady Ragyo didn't sent her?"

"If she would, my mother would informed me before her arrival." Satsuki responded while sipping her tea once again. "You know how Nui Harime is as curious as she is Sadistic. It would be obvious that she would grow and obsession with Kurusu and try to destroy the Matoi lineage for what they did to her." She placed her tea on her plate before pressing a button on her chair to project a holographic graphic image of Iori. "Iori, I require an inform about your progress with the Ascension Dress."

"We have 60% completed the Ascension Dress Milady. We've currently sewing the sleeves of the dress." Iori responded. To take you all back, in order to become stronger and ensure her victory during the Tri-City School Raid, she has to evolve her Kamui. But for that, she needs a vast amount of power to do so. So she requested Iori into developing some sort of super-Goku Uniform injected with Persona Fragments and Life Fibers equal to 4 3-Star Goku Uniforms and even beyond. So the dress was NOT to be put on.

"Excellent. And how is the progress on the mass produced S.M.T. Goku Uniforms?" Satsuki questioned her personal tailor about her new project.

"Our progress with the S.M.T. Goku Uniforms has grown quite smoothly." Iori responded while watching the future Persona Fragment-Infused Uniforms getting stabilized. "Do not worry Milady. We're giving our best efforts into achieving your requests. The Ascension Dress and the S.M.T. Goku Uniforms shall both be done before the Tri-City School Raid." The tailor responded before cutting the call.

"L-look! I don't want to anger Fuzzy Hair from beating you or anything like that, it's just that I don't have any intention on fighting you. It's not that you're weak as shit, but you're only stalling for me time to get to your fucking sister." Ryuko tried to reason with Harime as she seems frustrated from Nui blocking her way toward Satsuki Kiryuin.

"What? The mighty Ryuko Matoi doesn't want to fight? I thought that you were known in the Kanto Region as the toughest girl there. Wasn't fighting your whole gig?." Nui put her hands on her cheeks in awe as she tried to persuade Ryuko to fight her in order to proceed with her master plan. "Besides, don't you want to avenge your friend?"

"Eeeeh… Not really. You said it yourself that pushing him down of the arena was a mere accident, and let me tell ya', he has faced worse things. I'm sure he's fine, I guess…" Ryuko doubted that Kurusu would die from that fall. He would most likely have survive that fall.

That's when Nui got an idea. "Oh, I know! It seems that you lack motivation to kill me, don't you?"

"Motivation, on killing you?" The Girl with the red dash asked.

"Yup. Remember what I told you back to wait for the Sudden Death Runoffs for a surprise?" Nui smirk became wider as she threw away her Needle Blade. "Well here it is! Atatatatatata…" She sang as she was pulling off another weapon from her dress, being a purple blade-like object. And it only meant one thing. "Ta-Da!"

"What the!?" Ryuko's eyes widen as wide as possible once she looked at Nui's weapon.

"Oh no…" Morgana gulped by the look of Nui's sword

"Is that…?" Senketsu was as shocked as Ryuko.

"The other half of the Scissor…" Kurusu muttered in shock between.

"Yup! That's right. It's the other half of your Scissors you were looking for. I must say, your dear dead daddy put quite the effort into building them. The hardened Life Fibers consisting on its material, you can tell this baby is quite destructive." Nui teased Matoi in order to anger her. "Do you finally remember, Ryuko? When I killed you dumb-nut dad, I laughed, juST, LIKE THIS! AGHATGHHGFDGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

While Nui was laughing, Ryuko felt a thread inside herself beginning to tear slowly as she leaned her head from the truth she was given. "That laugh... That godforsaken laugh... You're telling me… this whole time, the son of a bitch who I dedicated my entire fucking life hunting down, the asshole who killed my dad… It was you this whole time…?" She clenched her fists in acululating anger from knowing that the person who killed her dad was always in front of her this whole time, the pin of her Sekki-Tekko began to loosen up.

Joker felt absolutely shocked from hearing this. He already knew that Nui Harime was evil from the start, but to know that she could be that personal to Ryuko, it would be another level. This made him reflect on what would happen if his team would not already figure out that Akechi would be the Black Mask. "Ryuko…"

"Mona! Mona! Do you copy me?" Mikisugi tried to communicate with Morgana, which the cat managed to pick up his call. "Seems that your friend's Number 1 fan has arrived more earlier than usual. Whatever it takes, make sure that you and Joker get Ryuko out of there!"

"Now you see concern, don't you? This whole confrontation could have been avoided if you have told us that she killed Ryuko's dad earlier on!" Morgana scolded the leader from Nudist Beach from keeping the identity of Dr. Matoi's Killer a secret even when there was no reason to do so.

Mikisugi wanted to make a counterargument, but the black cat seems to have the better testament. "Look, I admit that I was a fool and overconfident for not telling you earlier. But if I would told you so back then, Nui Harime would try to delete all of you from the map. You need to evacuate! You're in no condition to fight Nui right now!"

Then, Joker came down to his pillar, slashing all the Fuzz shadows into pieces. "Even if it pains me do admit it, Mikisugi is right. My "friend's" attack left me in no condition to fight and you still have that collar. We both know we want to protect Ryuko and Senketsu, but…"

"YOU BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!" Ryuko cried out, as she transforms, letting out a burst of red energy that sent both Phantom Thieves flying to the walls, where the Nudists were located.

"Well, that was hella' convenient." Omiko commented as she saw the 2 thieves trying to get up.

"N-no! it can't be real! There's no way that best friends would kill each other's dads! That's not a true sign of friendship!" Mako was still in denial of knowing that her friend Harime would be the responsible for Ryuko's suffering in the first place.

"What dad told me… When I find the bastard with the other half, I could find the one who kill it! And it was in front of me this whole goddamn time!" Ryuko fully furious was hoplessly and recklessly hacking and slashing the Killer, with Nui blocking every single attack with both her Parasoul and Scissor Blade.

"Yup. It was me the whoooole time. Surprise, surprise!" Nui jiggle as she was enjoying Ryuko's temper tantrum. She only needs to wait longer, and her master plan will begin.

"Why did you do it? Why did you killed my dad?" Ryuko was demanded answers right at this instant. She may now know who killed her dad, but she still wants to know why. She only continued to senselessly attack the Grand Corturier.

Harime only jiggled like an insane girlish hyena in response. "Oh my, where do I start? Hmmm…" She thought to where to begin by putting her index finger between her lips.

"Shut you goddamn mouth! My old man died before he could tell me anything! So shove that shitty attitude of yours and tell me why did you do it in the first place!?"

"Haven't you noticed already? You're wearing the reason." Nui responded with a glee.

What the Lolita told here made her realize now. "You mean Senketsu?" She asked before noticing that her target was gone, only to appear beside her.

"Don't blame me sweetie, I was just following orders from my superiors. Your daddy was messing with things they shouldn't meddle with. Like that pretty Kamui of yours." The monster with girl's clothes whispered to the tomboy's ears as she slipped her fingers on Senketsu's Life Fibers, causing the Kamui to get extreme goosebumps and pushing Ryuko off her.

"That girl's hands are as colds as Ice!"

"Ah! Thank you! A tailor's hands are as important as its creativity." Nui responded, taking what the Kamui said as a compliment, which caused the Kamui and even Ryuko to gasp out.

"What!? Y-you can understand what I say!?" Senketsui wanted an immediate answer from the Grand Corturier this instant.

"Of course you silly-billy! Remember that I'm a master with the Life Fibers?" Nui wanted the due to refresh their memories before bringing out a yarn ball of Life Fibers out of nowhere. "Want an example?" From the yarn ball, she created a web which threw it at Ryuko, trapping and binding her.

"Fucking bitch! Get me out of here!" Matoi demanded to be free with barks and roars, but of course, Harime would deny her tantrums.

The Grand Couturier would then approach Ryuko before bending over. "But wait, I still haven't told you the one hundred reasons why I killed your papa. How about a small flashback sequence to explain this big dump of exposition? Beside, wanna know why I have this patch in the first place?"

*Some time before Ryuko's arrival at Honnouji Academy*

Oh, how could I forget that moment when I killed your dad. The poor monkey was experimenting as usual, well until I decided to knock the door and come to pay a visit.

"What the hell are you doing here?"That what your daddy told me. It was kinda rude of him for not saying hi. Like the good girl that I am, I just told him that I wanted to play a game. But that old grumpy troll told me to play somewhere else. You know, that old fart's basement was filled with all sorts of stuff down there, I wanted to stay there and play all day with his wacky inventions, but they told me to just break everything down.

"Don't think you can take me as an idiot. The Kiruyuin clan sent you here because of my latest, research, haven't they?" That living moustache could already read my minds. And so we play a game of whoever dies first loses. And man! For an old monkey, he moved quite swiftly. I doubt that you could even outmatch your own daddy.

But back to to my fable tale, seems that the old hag finally revealed his secret project. "You're looking at what I dedicated my whole life into developing! A weapon not only made up of hardened Life Fibers, but also a weapon infused with the Spiral Powers of these demonic threads! This is the weapon that shall cut the fabric that covers the sea, land, sky and stars and change humanity's fate! These are the Rendering Scissors!" Jeez! I've never knew that your father was that dramatic. But it caught me like a fashion week once I discovered that your dad was also playing with Spiral Power. Your dad was already walking on thin ice by experimenting with Life Fibers, but with Spiral Power, now he was just dancing on fire!

Oh well, it didn't took that long until the old man worn out. Let me tell you, it was pretty fun watching your daddy being stabbed by his own life's work. Every squirm, every scream, it made my body tingle on a pretty funny way.

And then, it happened…

When you arrive at your home, that sonuvabitch cut my left eye. My precious eye… Of course, in return. I took his life, and the other pair of his scissors before blowing the whole thing away. Sorry, not sorry. XOXOXOXOXO (^*)

"Then why come all the way here! You already killed my dad! Aren't you satisfied? And if you want your fucking eye back, then shove one of those Life Fiber fruits down your asshole!" Ryuko hissed while trying to struggle from getting out of the Life Fiber net.

Nui in response only jiggle. "Hihihihi! You're not seeing the big picture, don't you Matoi? Being the bastard child of a scientist would hope to make you a bit smarter, but I'm sure you inherit that dumb brain of yours from your mom, don't ya'? Maybe that's the reason why she died before you were even born." Nui continued to insult Ryuko before stomping her head with her high heel boots, shoving the tomboy's head into the arena. "No… I want him to suffer! Take everything from him and watch his stinky corpse roll on his worthless grave. You know, I've could have killed you if I had more time to stay. After all, Lady Satsuki specifically ordered me to not let any witnesses or evidence behind." Nui told everyone who the real culprit of the killing was.

"You WHAT!?" Ryuko's blood was starting to boil even hotter.

"Oops! Silly me. I just slip it away." Nui told herself, pretending to be clumsy. "Well, i was ordered to kill you dad. I didn't had any business prior to the whole eye incident. Lady Ragyo's little weebie angel told me to slain him. Isn't that right, Lady Satsuki?" Nui slowly turned her head where Satsuki was. Waiting for the Kiryuin to confess her crime.

"You aren't really going to admit you were responsible for Dr. Matoi's death, aren't you Lady Satsuki?" Soroi asked Satsuki Kiryuin, which she got up from her chair and approached her spire. She was going to tell Ryuko the truth once she managed to tame her anger, but she was feeling being forced to tell the truth.

"Unfortunately Matoi, Nui Haime is telling the truth. My mother didn't order her to slay her. It was I." She responded indifferently, causing the whole stadium to lose their breaths.

"Well you look at that, her own decision just created her own worst enemy." Oni Mask said from his distance, still waiting for the right moment to strike.

"So Satsuki Kiryuin was responsible for Dr. Matoi's death this whole time. Why am I not surprised?" Tsumugu grunted as he was trying to find a way to unlock Morgana's collar.

Mikisugi tried to analyze the Grand Corturier's moves to give out a conclusion. "Hmm… How odd, seems that the Grand Couturier is holding her punches and yet doesn't hold back once Ryuko tries to attack. I know that Nui Harime wants to bury Isshin Matoi's legacy in any shape of form, but she seems to mostly try to annoy Ryuko to the point of pure anger." Mikisugi drawled in concern before looking at Joker, who was also watching the brawl with him as he tried to recover. "Joker, you know Nui Harime closer than any one of us. She probably also sticked with you to get close with Matoi. Do you have any idea on what she's planning?" Mikisugi asked the Phantom Thief.

This is where the trickster tried to remember. Why was Nui trying to anger Ryuko? Then, he was reminded back what Iori told him when he was still a Honnouji Emperor. People who tend to have high resistance to Life Fibers tend to have great amount of willpower and control over their emotions. Or either one of the other. Those words made him remember the 5-Star incident, and that when Joker managed to do a conclusion. "She's trying to make her lose control…"

"Oh! What's the matter? Can't fight perhaps? Too bad your friend's won't make it in time before I crack your skull." Nui taunted Ryuko even more while pressing her foot on Ryuko's head even harder.

"Shut y-your fucking mouth, Stalking bitch…" Ryuko was gritting her teeth while a burst of steam came down from her Kamui.

"Ryuko! Your Blood is boiling way to much! At this r-rate i.. i-" Senketsu was starting to feel weird for how angry Ryuko was getting, but he was trying his best to keep his Life Fibers under control.

"Apapap! Don't try to ruin the moment, Kamuis aren't supposed to talk that much." Nui hushed the living Sailor Uniform. "And speaking of stalkers, your friend Akira was a good way on getting to you much closer. Heck, I didn't even expected him to be related to you. But I guess your stupidity rub into him after all." Nui told the tomboy while continuing to have her boot over her head. She then proceed to bring out her Needle Blade again on a slow matter. "Come on! Don't ya' hate little ol' me? Maybe you will once I crack that empty skull of your he-"

BANG!

It didn't took Ryuko too long that the reason why Nui stopped from crushing her head. The Grand Corturier got shot in the head with a hole in her forehead leaking blood from it. "You… You stupid apes…" The Grand Corturier gritted her teeth while Hakodate grinned her teeth due to her accomplishment as a sniper. I-ts this really how it's go-g-going to end- Just kidding!" She said with a smile before taking the bullet out of her brain as if it was nothing.

"W-what the crap!? You should be dead by that fucking shot!" Ryuko who was still mad as a bull cried out while Senketsu was feeling as if he could explode at any instant.

"Hihihi! It's really funny that your friends are trying to kill me with such primitive weapons." Nui jiggled while the flesh on Nui's hole began to regenerate itself like it was nothing.

"Ah, come on! That shot was fair and square and the girl just so happens to have the most cliché villain ability? Can I just win for once?" Hakodate let out fumes of anger due to her perfect shot become useless.

"Don't get your teapot boil Hakodate. If it wasn't for that shot, Ryuko would have suffered more." Mikisugi said, calming the former member of the Tennis Club.

Tsumugu then turned his head to where the arena was with pure disgust. "Well, here comes the big reveal…"

"W-what kind of freaking monster are you…?" Ryuko wanted an answer for Nui Harime's unholy regenerating ability.

"Hihihihi! Oh, silly girl. How could little ol' moi be a monster? I'm not monster, nor devil. I'm something much, much, much better and breathtaking! Wanna see something neat?" The abomination said before pulling out a kitchen knife from her chest and stab it on her chest before opening a hole where her organ are, just to pull up her own heart, taking the term "Taking your Heart" to a whole other level. But this heart wasn't human. Nui's heart seem to be purple, with that Life Fiber pattern characterizing Goku Uniform. "Lookie here everyone, it's my very own heart." She beamed as she holder her Life Fiber heart for the world to see, which cause mixed emotions of fear, disgust, and pure shock.

"Oh god… I think I'm gonna… PMHP!" Joker felt absolutely disgusted by the heart pulsating, he puked outside the walls, and someone the hell pray that the vomit of the Phantom Thief doesn't fall over a fellow student. And even the same happened to Maiko who watched everything from one of Honnouji's security cameras.

Morgana widen her eyes at Harime's declaration. "So that's why that girl gave me such bad vibes. Hmph… This tournament sure packs a lot of surprises to say the least… And not the good kind."

"What in the unholy hell is that!? D-don't tell me that dumbnut is…" Nonon gasped at her deductions were about to become true.

"Eyup. I'm a Human-Life Fiber hybrid." Harime told her opponent who was feeling sick from just watching that heart pulsate. "Can't you see my sparkly heart sparkle it's sparkly Life Fibers?" the Grand Corturier then began to literally rub her vital organ all over Ryuko's face, covering her with her sickening blood. "Of course, a little devil like me wasn't born from a monkey's belly. You could say that I was sewed in an artificial womb made out of Life Fibers." Nui then placed her heart inside of her before the cut she made herself regenerate. "You know, I'm quite jealous of you. You and the rest of Honnouji Academy always wearing those fancy Goku Uniforms, not to mention those cutsey Kamuis. Even if I could just make my own Kamui, my Life Fibers would be way too strong for it, to the point of exploding! Guess my body does have high standards." Harime shrugged before girlishly winking at Matoi.

"This is bad. At this rate, Ryuko's Kamui could go nut at any moment." The leader of Nudist Beach muttered before turning to where the Trickster was. "Joker, think you can take Ryuko out of there? Ryuko Matoi and her Kamui are our greatest bet to save humanity from the Life Fibers, so we can't risk losing her"

Joker smirked before coughing for a moment. "Well, besides some slight sickness, I think I'm fully recovered." The wild card gave a thumb up. But his smirk of positivity then changed into a threatening look. "But whatever you do, do NOT dare to refer Ryuko and Senketsu as mere bets ever again! It doesn't matter if Ryuko is the daughter of Dr. Matoi or if Senketsu is a Kamui. They're both living beings that deserve being treated as humans and not mere tools, and they need our help!" Akira scolded Mikisugi from his perspective on the tomboy girl and her Kamui. He has lost all of his friends, and he won't do that mistake again, even if he fully acknowledges that he will soon leave this dimension.

The Phantom Thief's serious and loud voice sent some shivers down the leader of Nudist Beach's spine. As he can be brave, supportive and cocky, he can also be scary, cold-hearted and merciless. "Very well… Seeing as you can somehow talk to Senketsu, i'm sure you're able to ease off Ryuko's anger without direct conflict. I have all my hopes on you, Joker. Make Nudist Beach proud!"

Joker nodded in response before getting up. "Morgana, stay with the others. I'll make sure to request backup if the situation gets dire."

"Hmm… Seems that you're tactics have become more responsible lately Joker. I'm glad that your growth as a Phantom Thief is really showing. Guess those Shogi matches with Hifumi payed off. Heh! At this rate, you're gonna become Makoto." The cat was proud of Joker for thinking about his friends and bonds first. As much as Morgana wanted to help, his 9 lives would all been reduced to zero without his Persona.

Tsumugu still had his usual frown, but he felt something about the kid that everything shall be fine. "There are 2 things you need to know, kid. 1: Kinue gave her life for the development of that girl's Kamui. So if your petty plan fails, I'll make sure you regret this until the day your life snuffles out. 2: Don't let your over cockiness cloud your view in reality. Nui Harime is on a whole another level, maybe not as much as Satsuki Kiryuin, but she's still a pain in the ass to get rid off."

"And 3:" Joker began his counterattack of words like he usually does. "Come on! I've beaten politics, evil space businessmen and even the Japanese mafia. What makes you think I can't handle a teenage girl's anger issues?" Akira reaffirmed that everything shall go as planned before summoning Kikuri-Hime. "Besides, what could a Nudist be if he's afraid of messing up his clothes?"

Tsumugu smirked in response. "You got spirit Kid, I'll give you that. Just don't die on the battlefield, alright?"

The Phantom Thief nodded in response before beginning to swing his way toward the election polling place.

But so much talk between the nudists wasted their time on rescuing Matoi. As Nui continued to anger her in order for the tomboyish girl to go berserk.

"Can't you feel that funny tingle of anger running all over your Kamui like a marathon of red blood cells? Does not feel unpleasant? I'm sure it is." Nui smirked while lifting the girl of the red Scissor Blade from her head with one of her delicate hands. "It's very funny that you are sooooooooo weak, that you would have died if your friends haven't put their noses on the situation. My! How are you planning to avenge your pops if you're being constantly being picked on by Honnouji Academy's students?"

The more Nui opened her mouth, the angrier Ryuko became. In fact, not only the red streamers of her shoulder pads began to boil blood, but her eyes began to turn golden yellow, reminiscent of a Shadow Self. "You take those words back!" She exclaimed on a demonic Shadowy voice.

"Kya! Ryuko, don't try to copy me! We're friends, but don't try to replicate bad stuff that I have done before!" Mako quickly recognize what was Ryuko doing, and like the good friend she is, she quickly tried to approach the arena. Only to be stopped by Ira Gamagori who was holding her from the back of her Uniform. "Gamagori?"

"No need to throw away your life like that, Mankanshoku." Gamagori then turned his head to his upper left, which made Mako do the same thing out of curiosity on what was Ira looking at. Only to discover that it was Akira moments before swinging into the arena.

Meanwhile with the High Order Tailor, her smile only grew even larger from watching Ryuko on the verge of insanity. She only needed one small push and the true fun will finally commence. "Why should i? Remember your loss against the former monkey of the Elite 4? Or when you got Knocked Out by that silly boxer boy, twice? Your nasty butt being kicked by clowns? How you were gobbled up by that Sneaky Snake? Or how hard your friend punched you? And let's not forget your first brawl with Lady Satsuki. Wow! You were pathetic back there!"

"As if I would hear words from an abomination like you!" Ryuko didn't want to hear any more words coming from the Life Fiber Hybrid's mouth, but she couldn't stop from listening her insults.

Nui in response only made a small jiggle before dropping Ryuko into the floor again. "Pfft! What a good joke." She laughed before giving off a soft smile. "Come on Ryuko, don't be such a weeni eebie weepie baby. Even your dad was more fun to deal with than you. If you can't kill me…" She stopped before approaching Ryuko's ear before changing her innocent face into a full sadistic grin. "How are you planning on having a normal life again, even when you fully know you will never have one ever again…?" She drawled at Ryuko's ear.

And on that moment, Ryuko's sanity broke into pieces…

"That…" She drawled as she gritted her teeth while she began to tear down the Life Fiber ropes out of pure sheer wrath. "Freaking…" Her body was beginning to tremble as she slowly began to get up.

" 0…" Senketsu stammered on a twisted and raspy voice, as he was feeling the desire of bloodthist and destruction of the Life Fibers was beginning to contaminate his mind.

Meanwhile, Joker finally landed on the arena, but of his dismay, he was too late. Now the only thing her could do is watch in anguish and despair.

"DOES IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Matoi exploded with all the fury and hatred she accumulated from the Grand Corturier, while at the same time, a gigantic burst of steam and black energy covered the entire arena.

"Horray! It's starting!" Nui jumped in joy while clapping her hands from Ryuko beginning her corruption.

Akira made the best he could to anchor his feet on the ground to not get blasted away from the tempest, but he was able to not get thrown into space. Meanwhile, Nui just casually avoided the storm by shielding herself with her trusty umbrella.

Aside from the Elite Trio who weren't affected by the waves of darkness sprouting out from Ryuko's deep heart giving an example on how powerful the 3 devas are and Satsuki Kiryuin of course, the rest couldn't been said for the rest of the audience watching the Sudden-Death Runoffs directly from Honnouji Academy.

"Nooo! I don't want to go to space! I didn't brough my panties with cute staaars!" She cried in panic as she was being blown away alongside her peers. But it wouldn't be long until a hand grasped Mako's leg to save her. "Huh? Gamagori?"

"Hold still Mankanshoku!" Gamagori exclaimed before pulling Mankanshoku down and wrapping her between his muscular arms. "Gotcha. I think you're safe now."

"Woah Gamagori! You're the best!" Mako beamed as she waved her body left and right.

"Um Hello! That twister is going to leave us without students if we don't do something!" Nonon shook Inumuta's head since she believed that he had a solution for these kinds of problems since he is the computer freak of the Student Council.

"I'm trying to do that, so don't go nailing your venomous fans over everything!" Inumuta tried to get the musician out of his grasp. "But the dark burst is messing up with the frequency of my computer!" He exclaimed while trying to shake his computer who was losing signal. "Well, might as well enlist new students."

"it won't be necessary!"

That familiar voice caught the Elite Trio by surprise. They look around, until they noticed a familiar figure with his arms crossed on the top of the benches.

"Wait! Is that?" Gamagori could not believe that it could be him, but he was.

"Magarula!"

A figure in the form of a man riding a Pegasus casted a medium-sized tornado that vacuumed in a vast majority of the No-Stars and suspiciously the former members of the Kendo Club, slowly descending them where the Elite Trio was. Although knocked out, still alive.

Oni Mask then walked down to the Bleachers to get nearby the Students while Bellerophon transformed back into that Jade Oni Mask.

"Okay, who invited the monkey to mess around?" Inumuta knew it was Sanageyama by the voice, cockiness and green hair.

"Hey. No need to bite used bones Inumuta." The now-Phantom Thief responded with snark and without looking directly at him. "There are more important issues right now." The member of Nudist Beach looked up to the arena.

"Lady Satsuki, this is bad." Soroi tried to warn the Totalitarian ruler of Honnouji Academy about Ryuko's burst of anger.

Satsuki finished up her tea before getting up from her chair and walk to to her spire and look with horror what was going on. "Ryuko… You fool…"

Back at the arena, when the dark twister cleared out, Akira looked around for Ryuko and Senketsu. "Ryuko! Senketsu!" Akira cried the names of his 2 friends to find them.

"D'oh! Don't be such a party pooper Akira." Nui slid to where the trickster was. She knew she wasn't going to be received on a positive way, and she was in the form of Akira pointing his Tailor's Dagger to her.

"I knew you were a wolf in sheep clothing this whole time… So don't pretend I'm stupid. What did you to Ryuko!?" Akira demanded answers now, only for Nui to jiggle and point to the direction where the 2 were.

Once Kurusu looked on the way Nui was pointing on, his eyes widen in pure horror and disbelief by what Senketsu has transformed. Rather than taking his usual form. The Out-of-control Kamui has morphed into a gigantic clothing monster with super-sharp teeth who let out a distorted roar, before gobbling up the now-naked Ryuko. "Ryuko… Senketsu… No…" The Phantom Thief quaveled in both despair and failure of protecting Ryuko.

And as for Nui, she was just laughing in satisfaction, watching the Phantom Thief despair and Isshin's daughter mutating into an unholy abomination of a Human and Clothing. Her uncanny appearance had sickly green skin with parts of her bodt covered with her blood, her Scissor Blade seems to be fused with her right arm while her left one became enormous. Her face resembling one of a monster with jagged and pointy teeth and glowing bloodshot eyes fit for an out of control animal. As for Senketsu's parts, they seem to be infused with the berserked Ryuko's body. Her eye bloodshotted and feral while the skirt part became an unholy mouth. Both Ryuko and Senketsu have given in by anger and the Life Fiber's desire of destruction.

"Ahhh…. Ahhhhh… ahhh…" The monstrous Ryuko and Senketsu both began to growl like wild animals being enraged, with every breath being heavier than the last. "GHRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" The monstrous mutation unleashed a powerful screech all around the arena, it broke all the crystal windows of Honnouji Academy.

"Ahahahaha! Now that's more like it! Just look at you, you're becoming a monster, just like me!" Nui rejoiced while jumping out of joy.

Meanwhile, the Kiryuin watched in diguist and horror. "So that's what Nui Harime was after." Satsuki growled before calling forth her Shadow army. "Shadow of Honnouji Academy, neutralize Ryuko Matoi! Go! Go! Go!" Satsuki ordered her Shadows as the horde rush and flew to where the monster was.

"GhrAhGh!" The monstrous Matoi didn't receive Satsuki's reaction that well. Once the Shadows started to attack her, she casted Heat Riser on herself to give herself a boost. A group of Decarabias were ready to cast Agilao at the same time, but the mutant charged a Megidola from her mouth and launched it at the group of stars, resulting on an explosion that disintegrated them. A Matador was ready to take down the monster, signaling of him swinging his red blanket back and forth. But for the torero would soon find his death in the form of the berserked tomboy dragging her body and grabbing the Shadow by the skull. She began to press her gigantic hand all over the head of the Shadow, until it broke like a grape. Ryuko then ate the corpse of the Matador with her skirt mouth. A horde of angels were ready to deliver divine punishment, but even still. The seraphines became toasted once the monster's second mouth began to puke her own blood. The Angels felt weaker due to the blood, just to latter be slain by Ryuko's giant hand.

"That thing will not be stopped if I don't do something!" Satsuki frowned before stepping on a button on her spire, causing the infamous red stairs to appear. She was ready to step down and finish this herself, until a hand touched her back. "Are you judging my power, Soroi?" Asked Satsuki indifferently. If it wasn't her butler stopping her, she would instantly decapitate the one who got in her way.

"No, I-i'm not miss." Soroi responded. He was like the father figure Satsuki Kiryuin would wish he had much longer. "I'm just, worried of you on overusing Junketsu. It was already bad when you first donned the Kamui, and my nephew is as concerned as me once he saw you being hurt by the infusion. I-I don't want to lose you. What if you become a monster like Ms. Ryuko? Maybe Lady Ragyo can come here and resolve this."

Satsuki acknowledge that Soroi's intentions were to protect her from going out of control. And it was a very high chance considering her Kamui being more feral. She closed her eyes for a second before placing her right hand over Soroi's. "There will be no need. As I plan to fulfill my ambition by myself and myself alone." Satsuki then put out the butler's hand out of her shoulder. "After all…" Satsuki drawled as she slowly pulled out Bakuzan out of its case like she usually does. "I cannot let Akira die this early. I'm planning to take his powers all for myself…"

Soroi understood his master's decision and he bowed in apology.

"Thanks for understanding, Soroi. Now, go and evacuate the teachers and personal of Honnouji Academy. I don't know how much longer will Joker and the Natural Elections polling place will resist." She then narrowed at Joker who was fighting the Berserker Ruko, trying to not let Nui harm her and also trying to survive the soon-to-be-destroyed arena.

"Ryuko! Senketsu! Come on! Snap out of it!" Akira struggled to calm down both the Kamui and his wearer from their anger tantrum. He was blocking and slashing with his usual Phantom Thief dagger cuz he though that his Tailor's dagger could barely resist Ryuko's attacks on that state of wrath. He was also tried to neutralize Matoi with Mothman's various ailgment skills, but it resulted to be useless.

"Try all you want Aki, but those 2 have Life Fibers all over their ears. They can't hear you!" Nui popped on ready to slash him to have herself some fun, but her Scissor Blade would soon be stopped by Valkirie's sword.

"So this was your plan all along? To transform Ryuko into a monster?" Ren demanded an explanation from Nui while blocking every attack from the Grand Corturier.

"Ding ding! You're right!" Nui then pushed back the Phantom Thief out of her sight to concentrate into beating Ryuko. "You know, I would be lying if I could say I was pretending to be your friend. I LOVE making friends, and more when they have their own benefits." Nui although being a twisted monster, she did have a spot for friends. She then looked from far away that a fist-missile was coming her way, but it didn't took her long to avoid the incoming thread by just walking away from it, causing the missile to lose her target. "D'ow… Why the sudden heel-face turn? I though you and I were Bffs, I am one of your biggest fans." Nui questioned Joker while playing with her umbrella, not before blocking Ryuko's arm slam with her Scissor Blade and Kurusu's Megaton Raid with her umbrella at the same time. "You know Aki, it kinda surprises me that you don't seem to drop your heart out once I showed you who I really am, unless…" Nui smile got wider and wider once she figured it out. "You knew it all along, you slippery snail! I knew we were really close friends."

Joker expression then made a 180 degree turn that came from angry to confident and cocky. "Heh! As if you were the first monster in human clothes that I've met in my life. You know, as much as you tried to used me to get closer to my clothes and Ryuko, I also used our friendship to watch you over. I can say that sticking with you has proven to be quite beneficial."

"Oh… So the naked apes of Nudist Beach told you about those un-stylish clothes of hope?" Nui's gesture quickly changed from innocent and bubbly to cold and sadistic. "Then I can't be a closed friend to a naked fool like you! I could kill you at this right moment, but both Lady Satsuki and Lady Ragyo really want you to live longer." Nui declared. "So we can consider our friendship over!" Harime tried to attack Akira with a Needle Blade thrust, but luckily he was quick enough to avoid it.

Once Nui broke ties with Akira, he felt his work make a brief pause before the Tower Tarot card appeared before his eyes, just to later spin upside down.

DOUBT!

Your Tower Confidant is in a State of Doubt. You will not fulfil your mission until you clean your name.

"And fun fact, you better act quick! Cuz your friend is gonna die out of blood loss if she mantains that ugly change of look! Tic toc tic toc!" Nui teased Akira, which lured Mako's attention.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" The bobble-head gasped in horror. "Blood loss!?"

"Sheesh! Can you behave like I don't know, a normal girl for crying out loud?" Nonon tried to clam up the Underachiever, but she was received by a narrowing Gamagori instead.

"Since when Snakes know how bunnies live their lives?"

"Shut it Toad! Don't go hopping on other's ponds as if was your business!" Nonon furiously pointed at Gamagori in retaliation.

"Who cares about bunnies and snakes. I know what blood loss is because my dad steals blood from his patients to sell it for big bucks! So I know what blood loss is!" Mankanshoku shouted back to prove his point.

"Wait! How did you father managed to do those crimes without our supervision?" Gamagori was quite shocked and astonished that Mankanshoku's dad found a way to not catch the attention of the Disciplinary Committee.

"Hey! Could you stop with the chattering! At this point the whole damn place is going to be crumbled down like an expired cookie." Oni Mask reminded to his ex-colleagues about the more important issues.

"Since when are you worried about Honnouji Academy, you naked monkey?" Inumuta still didn't understood Uzu's concerns about the students, despite his betrayal.

"Be sure to bite before barking won't ya? I'm only concerned about the No-Stars. And I could care less about the One and Two-Stars." Uzu responded. "I may not be part of the Student Council anymore, but I'm at least going to start acting as a responsible one for once."

"Woah! Thanks for reminding me Mr. Stranger!" Mako thanked Sanageyama's alter ego before sprinting to save her friend. "Don't worry guys! I'll find a way to tie our friendship agaiiiin!"

"Wait Mankanshoku! It's too dangerous for you! Come back!" Gamagori wanted to stop Mako for hurting herself, but soon was stopped by Sanageyama's hand.

"Take it easy Gamagori. If there's something I learned during my days at the Fight Club, is that Mankanshoku can take on everything."

"GhaAAh!" The feral Ryuko cried in desperation before smashing the ground with her enormous claw, destroying the whole arena in the process. And it also made the three who were standing go on free fall.

"Oh no! I'm about to die! Whathever shall I do…" Nui said while jiggling before opening her umbrella to soft her fall while slowly descending.

A huge thud and impact were created once Berserker Ryuko crashed into the floor. Luckily for Joker, he was lucky enough to cling his hook onto the spike of his pillar once again and later land on the ground safely.

The nudist's weren't left behind.

"God… What a mess." Mikisugi drawled with a tired voice while rubbing the back of his head.

"Shit! At this point, I can't get a good shot! How am I able to calm that bitch's ass?" Omiko hissed on a fit, until he saw Tsumugu prepare his stuff.

"Don't get your fumes up, Hakodate. I'm going it." Tsumugu said before standing up and loading his gun.

"Wait, a-are you sure? You know we're talking about the Grand Corturier and an Breserked Kamui on the same bowl of cereal, right?" Mikisugi made Tsumugu jog his memory about the immense power of Nui Harime and Ryuko Matoi.

"tsch! Might as well die as a proud nudist than food for the COVERS." Tsumugu snarled in response. "I won't let Kinue's sacrifice be in vain, and much less if it involves Nui Harime." Tsumugu then activated his transmittor to communicate with Maiko. "Are the Anti-Life Fibers weapons ready?"

"Fufufufufufu… I'd though you'll never ask." Maiko reaccommodated her glasses on a villainous way before revealing a chunk of upgraded weapons for Tsumugu to use that was carrying a drone. "Using Honnouji's stolen data, I was able to perfect these babies up! And now it's the best season to use them."

Tsumugu smirked in response before picking up the weapons. "Here Pussycat, you'll need one of these." Tsumugu handed Mona a Bleach-throwing Bazooka. "You're our 2nd strongest member, so if you still got balls to save your pal, then you're going with me."

"Say no more!" Morgana exclaimed. "I maybe not be able to summon my Persona right now, but even still, Joker needs our help! And as a team, it is our duty to help!"

Tsumugu smiled to Mona's speech. He snapped his fingers to make the kitten accompany him, which he did. Both members of Nudist Beach ran as fast as they could to aid Akira.

As for Satsuki, she was walking to the battlefield with her Elite Trio on her behind. "How is the evacuation of Students?"

"It's on it's way, milady." Inumuta Informed her. "Let's say that we had some, outside help."

Satsuki was a bit puzzled about what Inumuta referred to.

"Huh… Never knew that Kamuis can become so powerful." Nonon added while watching the One-Stars fall off the bleachers as she was chewing some bubblegum.

"That's why I have to stop her." She said before turning her eyes yellow and activate her Kamui.

"LIFE FIBER OVERRIDE! KAMUI JUNKETSU!"

"Save as many students as you can!" Satsuki Kiryuin ordered her elite soldiers before rushing into the battle to stop Ryuko and Nui.

"Well, time to go to work." Inumuta was preparing himself to jump, but stopped once he noticed Ira Gamagori gritting his teeth.

"DAMN IT!" He cried in pure anger before slamming his fist into the ground. "We shouldn't sitting our asses here and do nothing about! We're Lady Satsuki's Elite Trio! We should be there helping her and not be mere spectators."

"We WERE the Elite Trio! Or are you really feeling that suicidal today? You don't have a Goku Uniform and yet, you still decide to launch your ass against a Kamui out of control?" Nonon was quite surprised that from all the Elites, Ira Gamagori felt unpleased.

"You're doing this for Mankanshoku, aren't you? Seems that her stupidity has rub into your body." Houka added to tease Gamagori. "But then again, you do have a point. We're Lady Satsuki's strongest troops, and watching in aphathy while we have the chance to fight would be a betrayal for Honnouji Academy and Lady Satsuki's ambittions."

Ira grunted in frustration. The reason why he wanted to jump straight into the action was thanks to Kurusu's bond with him and how it made him reflect his ways. "Say what you want, I don't have anything to lose since I'm a No-Stars just like you. Even when I hate to say this, some rules are meant to be broken for a greater good!"

As for Mako, she was doing her best to come into the fight as fast as she could. "Ryuko! Your blood! Don't waste it, it's worth for a lot of money!" She hopelessly tried to run as fast as she could, but she was becoming too tired.

But then, the Mankanshoku family arrived on their van on time.

"Oh, hi Mako. Are you enjoying the Sudden Death Run offs?" Barazo happily asked her daughter while having the rest of the family on the back of the car.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" The bobble-head asked surprised of her parents and brother's arrival on Honnouji Academy.

"Oh, about that. we though that we could have a better view here to cheer Ryuko and Ren from the distance. Anyway, do you know a sweet place to sit?" The dad of the Mankanshokus quickly changed topic, unaware of the disaster that was going on.

"Ghaaah!" Ren cried in pain while crashing between Mako and the others due to Ryuko launching him far away.

"Gyah!" Mako cried in surprised, until she and the others realized that it was Ren.

"REN! WE THOUGH WE WOULD NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" The whole Mankanshoku family quickly hugged Akira with a group bear hug, while crying tears of pure joy.

"Ugh! What the hell are you doing!? This is way too dangerous to walk around here!" Ren struggled to breath, while still warning the Mankanshoku family about the sudden battle that was happening. "And please, can you stop with the hugging? You're asphyxiating me!"

The Mankanshokus quickly released the wounded Phantom Thief out of their deadly love affection. "Hey! It isn't my fault that we wanted to cheer you up Ren!" Mataro reclaimed.

"Oh! So that's what you're referring to, don't you Ren?" Sukuyo then looked at the fight that is involving between Ryuko, Nui and now Satsuki.

Mataro was scared shitless by not only Ryuko's appearance, but also the magnitude of the hits the 3 girls made when their blades collide.

"Crap! At this rate, Ryuko is going to die sooner!" Ren cursed while slamming his fist at the roof of the car in anger.

"Hey! We don't have time to whine right now! T-there's must be something we can do if it means to help a family member! Come on! There's must be a way to redeem ourselves!" Barazo surprisingly seem to be determined to help. Maybe Mataro's speech back at the incident of the S.M.T. Uniform helped on the Mankanshoku couple to have a change of heart.

Joker was worried about the family's wellbeing, but he can't deny that he needs help. "Perhaps there is. Suyuko, do you have a croquette go fetch me?"

"Why even ask? I'm always packed with croquettes!" Ms. Mankanshoku then pulled out a recently cooked croquette from who knows.

The wild card grabbed the croquette with gratitude and ate it, causing his stamina and powers to replenish. He didn't knew why but the Mankanshoku's croquettes were something spectacular fot the palate. "Thanks. Make sure to treat any injured students out there. Students with Goku Uniforms tend to be more resistant, so make sure to first prioritize the No-Stars and then the others."

"No prob! Family, we got ourselves an emergency!" Barazo told the others while pressing a button, causing the family car to get a red siren and change their sign to "Mankanshoku's Back-Alley On-Call Clinic" while Mako hopped into the car. "Alright, let's hope the Kiryuin give us a big reward for this!" Mr. Mankanshoku exclaimed before pressing the gas pedal, causing the car to rocket himself to the aid of the Students. Meanwhile, Kurusu ran to where the big fight was to find a way to turn her friend back to normal. He lost all of his colleagues, and he won't do the same mistake again.

Back with the girls, Satsuki avoided a slam from the mosnter's giant arm while Harime evaded it with a ballet spin, seeming to enjoy the destruction.

"Woah Lady Satsuki! You look gorgeous on that Kamui! Sorry for forgetting on complimenting ya!" Nui told her step-sister while the Kiryuin got pushed back by the slam of Ryuko's fist.

"Save your compliments for yourself, Nui Harime. Are you that out of your mind that you already are?" She interrogated the Grand Corturier before counterattacking the monstrous Kamui wielder with a slash that provoque an extreme gust of air, pushing the berserk beast a bit behind.

"Well, have you noticed how strong Dr. Matoi's Kamui is? I just wanted to help you on getting rid off her bastard child. Can't a sister be kind to you?" She asked before complementing Satsuki's attack by creating a bomb in the form of a Medium Size Life Fiber sphere and latter bat it against Ryuko, causing a big explosion in the process.

"Don't lie to me. I know fully aware of your vegetive intentions against the Matoi family for taking your eye." Satsuki responded before watching Ryuko ram into the 2 girls, only for the dictator of Honno to counterattack with a Horizontal slash. Causing the monster to bleed even more.

"See? You and I are one of the same!" Nui then jumped over Ryuko to restrain her with a web of Life Fibers, only for the abomination to destroy her attempts by cutting the net hit her Scissor Blade arm.

"Don't even think about comparing myself to a living doll like you who's only purpose it to serve the Kiryuin." Satsuki reclaimed in anger.

"Aw come on! At least I have my charm!" Nui replied while pinching one of her "Sister's" cheeks.

Satsuki slapped away Nui's hand from her face. "Your definition of charming left much to be desired."

"But you gotta be honest sis, Ryuko's charm Is quite admirable. I just looove how she always come back for you. Like if you were rivals or something, don't you think?"

"Are you trying to mock me by comparing me to that poor excuse of a Kamui Wielder?" Satsuki response was her pointing Nui's throat with her Bakuzan. "Akira Kurusu is my arch-nemesis. We both know it well, I'm a messenger of Order while he is an envoy of Chaos. Just because Ryuko Matoi has a Kamui squeezing her flesh doesn't mean that she can stand against me."

"Well then, why do you call this evenly match then?" Nui then pointed to Ryuko who snuck behind the tyrant, blasting a fire breath out of her skirth mouth.

"Don't think so, Ho!"

Jack Frost made an ice breath to counterattack the monstrous Kamui's wielder Fire breath. From the steam provoked by the impact of both elements, Akira Kurusu descended into the scene ready to stop his friend.

"What took you so long to return, Akira Kurusu?" Satsuki asked the Phantom Thief from her behind, not even trying to look back.

"I could ask you the same question. "Ms. Student Council President". The Mankanshoku family is currently treating any injured students." Joker smirked without looking at the Kiryuin that was on her back. "Seems that we both have the same objective for once. I suggest that we should make a temporal truce." Joker added. Both wanted to stop Matoi's rampage for different reasons. Satsuki from not letting Ryuko destroy Honnouji Academy and Akira to save Ryuko.

Satsuki didn't had any other choice, but to accept. "Fine… But don't think I'll have mercy on you once we cross paths again, you damn criminal."

"Ugh! Who invited this jerk into our party?" Nui tried to slice Kurusu by surprise, but…

BANG! BANG BANG!

She missed the attack once she tried to avoid the upcoming Needle Blades.

"You're not laying a single damn Life Fiber finger on the kid." Tsumugu snarled at the Grand Corturier while pointing his Needle Gun at Nui.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Nui owled at the nudist, until she recognized his outfit and also Morgana. "Oh right! You must be one of those naked monkeys and you're Aki's adorable kitty. Oh well…" Nui sighted before raising both Needle Blade and Scissor Blade with both of her hands. "Time to Di-"

Boom!

Nui Harime got covered on Bleach thanks to Morgana's Bazooka, causing her Life Fibers to weakened.

"Huh! Seems that Life Fibers can't stand any kind of liquid thing that can dirty them. Quite astonishing." Morgana smiled, looking at Nui Harime freaking out.

"Hey! No Fair! How am I gonna fight you dumnuts at the same time?" Nui asked herself while biting her lip and trying to clean herself from the Bleach all over her body. Being a hybrid means that things like juice and coffee can cause spots in your flesh. "Oh, I know! Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter!" She chanted out, causing a clone of herself to poof from a smoke of air. "There! Now it's a 2v2! Let's play!" Both clones exclaimed at the same time before rushing themselves against Tsumugu. But their Needle Blades would be stopped by Morgana's Tailor Sabre.

"You 2 take care of Ryuko. Me and Mohawk will entertain your friend!" Morgana informed the 2 before pushing back the Nui Clones. But the 2 twin-tailed blondes striked back, making the Cat struggle.

"In that case…" Satsuki snapped her fingers, making Morgana's collar open, liberating the cat from his restrain of not being able to use his Persona.

"B-but why?"

"We all striving for the same objective right now. We'll settle our differences much later. This special S.C.C. Resonates with my desires, but its still on its beta phase." Satsuki explained before blocking a spike missile coming from Ryuko. "Now go, and distract Nui Harime!"

"This doesn't make us friend, Ms. Queen Bitch!" Tsumugu grunted before the both of them lured Nui Harime inside the school to stop her from interrupting Ren and Satsuki from stopping the berserk Ryuko.

"Believe me, I never intend to…" Satsuki muttered in peace. "Akira! Don't let your guard down! Ryuko Matoi is acting by instinct rather than with her mind, so her attacks can be very unpredictable! Don't let your feeling toward there disrupt you!"

Akira grunted by the response. "I'll only allow you to kill her once it is shown she's beyond salvation." He replied before Summoning Raoul for the battle.

"tch! Usual of you, Joker." The Kiryuin snarled before sprinting herself against the Kamui monster with her Bakuzan in hand, making a small leap and slice Ryuko from above. But the Life Fiber abomination was faster than they think. She was able to block the incoming attack with her giant arm.

"Akira! Now!" Satsuki gave the Phantom Thief a greenlight as Ryuko was mostly busy with blocking the attack.

"Sorry for this, Ryuko…" Akira lamented himself before doing what he must do. He holded a dark energy ball from a palm of his hands before putting the 2 hands together. "Eiagon!" The teenager exclaimed, expelling a powerful laser beam of darkness against the monster. Satsuki was quick to get off the way, blasting Matoi far away. But the monster managed to stand still.

"Don't you think that I'm done with you!" Satsuki exclaimed as her Bakuzan began to be enveloped by a holy light. "I Satsuki Kiryuin, also possessed new powers!" She cried before pointing her Sword at the monster. "Kougaon!" Satsuki cried, causing various pillars of light to descend from the sky, damaging Ryuko due to the intensity of the light.

There was even more! Due to both darkness and light colliding, it provoked a massive white and black explosion that covered the entire courtyard. It was so intense, that it sent rubbles of Honnouji Academy far away into Tokyo bay.

"Oh! That what I call a firework show!" Both Nui's clapped, watching the chaos from the hallways to take a break from chasing the bunnies. But for her dismay, it gave the opportunity to both Tsumugu and Morgana strike the Nuis with a barrage of missiles, causing a good-size explosion.

"Was that enough?" Morgana huffed and asked the Nudist. But his answer would be answered by Nui crawling through the ceiling of the halls like some sort of spider, and land ready to slice the both of them. Although, she was still no match for Diego's sword and Tsumugu's Needle Gun who was resistant enough to even block a Scissor Blade.

"Geez! Talk about being a stubborn piece of doo-doo poo-poo!" Nui jiggled while continuing to slash her way onto her opponent's internal organs. But each slash was blocked by either the Needle Gun, Tailor's Saber or Diego's sword. "I mean like, how can a run of the mill human like you is able to resist so much? Either that or the writer really favors you and doesn't give a flying feather about power level! But, I cannot blame that cutie. This fanfic must go on after all."

"Then let's see how much you resist on screen!" Morgana then loaded a vial of chemicals into his slingshot. "Take this!" He exclaimed flinging his slingshot against Nui Harime.

Upon impact, the vial took the grand corturied by surprise, it made her stop her attacks. "Hey! No fair! Don't you know how hard is to get rid of liquids on your skin when you're a Life Fi-Ugh… My head feels all woogie googlie…" Harime mumbled feeling the entire world going in circles. In fact the Vial was a Confusion Vial that made the Grand Corturier confused.

"Shut your light off!" Tsumugu then proceed to kick Harime with a roundhouse kick, launching her to the end of the Hallway with a powerful attack.

Once the Life Fiber girl reached impact, she noticed that she was surrounded by thousands of explosives. But she didn't cared, nor was afraid. "Oh well, I guess you can't win them all." Nui just accepted her brief defeat at the hands of the monkeys for now by just shrugging her shoulders.

"Hope you're ready to blast off Mohawk, cuz' this is gonna hurt!" Morgana exclaimed while preparing a Wind attack with Diego to provoque more damage to the High Tailor.

Tsumugu only smirked in response. He was ready to press the button to blast away Nui Harime. "Let's see how much of monkeys we are when you shove this!"

MAGURUDYNE MIRACLE BLASTOFF!

When both nudists shouted the name of their coming attack, it not only provoque a huge windy blast inside Honnouji Academy, but the red letters that said the name of the attack broke once Nui crashed over them, causing those damn letters to fall off.

Joker and the Kiryuin stood still. Hoping that the Life Fiber demon could calm her nerves. "Seems that your comrades are doing well on distracting the Grand Couturier." Satsuko commented on the explosion that happened, but Joker was mostly concentrated on where the hell those letters came from.

But both knew that the Berserk Ryuko was far away from done, even by the magnitude of that attack.

Both rivals made a battle stance as they saw the monstrous girl crawling over where they were between the clouds of the impact that light and dark attack left.

"GrHgh!" Ryuko growled before charging up another attack.

"Brace yourself! She's probably going to breath fire again or throw us her blood!" Akira warned Satsuki, which reminded her to have her guard up as always.

Once Ryuko reached the full charge, the vanished like a character from Dragon Ball Z. Which took both the Thief and Ruler by surpse.

"What the? Where did she go?" Satsuki cursed while turning her head to know where the monster went.

Joker knew that she could be anywhere. But luckily for the 2, he was able to sense others with the ability the God of Control gifted him while imposing as Igor. "Focus…" He sighted before closing his eyes, using his third eye ability to track down Ryuko. It's a move where Joker needs to be calm in order to work. He looked around, until he discovered that Ryuko was behind them. He was about to counterattack, but it was too late.

"gHaAh!" Shouted the beast, before puking out a river of blood out of her both mouths, covering the Kiryuin and the wild card in blood.

Both the Thief and the Kiryuin fell to their knees after that. "W-why do I feel heavier…? I'm feeling, weaker…" Satsuki grunted trying to get up, but she felt too weak to stand up.

"I-it must be the blood! It's weakening us!" Akira deduced, trying to find a Persona to purify them from their ailment. But no matter which one he chose, he wasn't able to find one. It wasn't anything like anger, sleep, fear or even brainwash. This was something similar to Madarame's attack when he splashed his team with weakening Ink, only this one is even more effective.

"GhrAaAaAAAAAAAaaaaAaHh!" The female monster made a backwards leap in order to charge against her 2 opponents with a headbutt rush. Akira quickly summoned Raoul to cover him and Satsuki with his wings to brace for impact.

THUD!

Once the Thief and the Heiress opened their eyes, they noticed a large figure pushing the monster girl back. The 2 of them took no time to conclude who it was.

"Gamagori? I directly order you to evacuate the students!" Satsuki scolded her half-naked shield from defying an order. As for Kurusu, he was glad that Gamagori quickly appear to get their back.

"F-forgive me Lady Satsuki, but I couldn't let this disgrace of a Student curb stomp you!" The ex-chair of the Disciplinary Committee shouted out. "I may not be on the position to correct Ryuko Matoi from her behavior, but I'm still your shield!" The giant exclaimed before glazing his eyes onto Matoi's shadowy ones. "RYUKO MATOI, CONTROL YOURSELF!" Ira let out a colossal roar before lifting Ryuko with all of her strength and later thrust her into the ground with a back arch throw, causing a big crater around them to appear.

Such feat left the Ruler of Honnouji's eyes widen. To think that Gamagori's resolve would lead to him impaling an out of control Kamui wielder into the ground, without the help of a Goku Uniform. Maybe him hanging out with Kurusu prove to be quite beneficial for her troops.

The muscular giant then fell into one kneel, expelling out heavy pants out of his mouth. After all, hitting a Kamui Wielder half-naked can prove to be quite tiresome. "This is all the help can provide. Lady Satsuki, Kurusu, I'll leave the rest to you, the other Elites shall aid you if you seem necessary. I'll go help the Mankanshokus to rescue fellow peers." Gamagori said his regards before using his last bits of strength to jump high to seek students in help.

But back to the Nudists, Hakodate was aiming for Ryuko with intentions to shoot the girl with the special bullet she has prepared. "To think that musclebound freak could be helpful for once, but I'm beginning to respect him. Weird…"

"Ryuko… Please forgive me for this, but better die human than live as a monster…" Mikisugi muttered in grief. He, just like Akira, wanted to find a way to revert back Ryuko to normal, but it seems that the options were becoming short by each red blood cell Matoi drops out of her body. "At my signal, shoot the bullet. We only have 3 shots, but make every one of them count as the last one!"

Omiko nodded. She wasn't sure on how much will Akira and Satsuki can hold Ryuko occupied, even when covered by the blood. as both of them were making their best attempts to block Ryuko's bestial attacks. Even when they felt weak, they seem to still able to hold Matoi from destroying everything. "All odds prove of this shot to be a 80% chance of hitting! So no holding back!"

But once Omiko was about to pull the trigger, Matoi who recently finished from shoving both Akira and Satsuki into the ground, stopped and turned her head 180 grades only to spot the nudists.

"What the!? She spotted us?" Ogure gasped in the surprise. To think that such monster was able to detect people from far distances, it was truly terryfing.

"Ah, ah, ah! I don't think so."

Boop!

With the press of a button, turrets coming from the walls of Honnouji began to shoot out a full barrage of Needle bullets. Unlike the normal Needles used by Nudist Beach, these ones seem to piecre through Matoi's rough skill, paralyzing her in the process.

"Surprised Milady? And I'm sure you too, Kurusu." Smugged Inumuta who was standing besides the 2. "Using your organization's needles, I've managed to upgrade them even more and also become able to even pierce the roughest of skins. So the Kamui's Life Fibers are being neutralized for now." Inumuta opened the collar of his tracksuit to give his explanation. "Me and Iori designed those turrets to avoid any more incidents similar to the one that happened back at your first days at Honnouji Academy, Kurusu. I must thank you for giving us this idea in the first place."

"Seems you got wrapped up in trouble. Huh… Me and my tail always always there to saving ya." Morgana walked by, casting Salvation on both Akira and Satsuki with Diego, wiping away the blood from their bodies. Houka just shrugged before jumping aways. He still wanted to make sure the cameras of Honnouji Academy could record the whole fight to gather important data.

"Hmph… I appreciate the help of your accomplice,Kurusu." Satsuki sighted in relief before standing up and shoot out 2 missiles in the form of Junketsu's eyes from her shoulders against Ryuko, exploding on contact with the monster.

"Save the compliments for later! We don't care if they come from you!" Morgana responded back to the Student Council President before pointing his Bazooka backwards into the ground. "Ready for blastoff!" Morgana exclaimed, pulling the trigger of his bazooka and launching him into a far distance, ready to clash with Ryuko "Take this!" Morgana exclaimed, summoning a thousand Spring Boxing gloves all over the place, each one of them striking down at Matoi. Some hits and some misses. But the hits outnumbered the misses.

"Don't leave me behind!" Akira followed Morgana from behind, doing a long jump that jumped over Ryuko. "Go!" Kurusu quickly changed over Alice, who ordered an army of giant teddie bears to rush the monster girl. Similar to what happened with Fizzy, the bears exploded in contact, causing a great explosion around them.

Ryuko seem to take a lot of hits from the attack that was leaving her too numb, she could barely stans on one of her 2 disfigured, growling in anger. But soon she came face to face with Satsuki Kiryuin.

"I'm having enough of your foolery Matoi!" She exclaimed in anger as she rised he sword once again, hoping that this slice could end her for good. "If you're not able to control your emotions, then I'll have no other option but to kill-"

BANG!

Satsuki Kiryuin received a Needle shot on her forehead, paralyzing her in the process. She was really surprised on how Akira was able to shoot her without her noticing it. "Why do you have to been this stubborn, Kurusu?"

"It's not my fault that you're trying to kill of her in the first go! I know that she must be there somewhere! She just needs help." Akira scolded Satsuki while walking forward the monstrous Girl-Kamui mutation. "And don't take me like an idiot. I'll kill her if she seems to be beyond salvation… For her own good that is…"

Joker without fear bent over Ryuko, looking over her face. "Ryuko, I know that you must be there… You seem to be scared, confused and well, angry… But I know you're stronger than this. I know that you should be happy for knowing your dad's killer, and yet you seem to find yourself trapped within walls of wrath. Just calm yourself and listen to my voice…" Joker tried to touch Ryuko's face slowly. Only to be greeted by the monster now holding his left hand within her big meaty claws.

"R-ryuko! Y-you're better than this damnit!" Akira struggle on remaining cool, but Ryuko slowly pressed his arm slowly, squeezing the wild card and causing his bones to slowly being crushed, making him agonize in sheer pain. It didn't help that her whole body was super-hot (Literally and not figuratively) and it was severely burning his skin off and forcing him to sceam off even more. This sure takes the meaning of "Hot-Blood" to a whole new level of its own.

The Life Fiber beast then put her friend closer to her face, staring on his eyes with her big golden eyes. "Do-.N'´t C-0m3!" She cried on a twisted voice, before tossing Akira into a nearby wall, causing one big crash on the instant.

"Well, that didn't worked out…" Akira grunted before casting a small healing Skill on himself and clean off the debris all over himself. But nonetheless, it seem that Ryuko is still there,but he needed to act fast.

Ryuko then let out a scream, causing a burst of blood out of her body, but in return it healed her completely.

"What? She regenerated?" Satsuki yelled in anger. But she got a plan out of there. It may not like Kurusu, but she could care less about what happens to Ryuko Matoi at this point when she's destroying her Academy.

Matoi wouldn't be let herself be numb ears from this point. She charged her vocal choirs, and later release a gigantic sound projectile made out of her unholy screams, just for Satsuki and Akira.

"As if I let you lay a single finger on Lady Satsuki, New Girl!" Nonon stepped in, being now in front of her best friend. She crossed her arms, creating a dark aura bubble all around her. Once the sonar projectile came in contact with the aura, Jakuzure opened her eyes on a dramatic way before absorbing the sound all around the barrier and pushing it with her arms. "Go! Nonon Mubyōshi!" She exclaimed, deflecting the scream against Ryuko, causing her to fly away into a pile of debris. "Heh! To think the Hooker's move that defeated me could be useful." Nonon then turned her head toward the Kiryuin and the Phantom Thief who was standing beside her. "So, how did I do Lady Satsuki? And did I let you impressed Akira?" Nonon oogled at the Phantom Thief, waiting for her approval.

The wild card smiled softly and gave a thumb up, which was enough to knock over Jakuzure out of thirst.

Inumuta quickly picked up Nonon to prevent her from interfeting. "I I think that I'll take the snake with me so you can't accidentally kill her, Lady Satsuki." Inumuta informed Satsuki Kiryuin before returning to the Academy.

"Just have it sure that the next time you disobey my direct orders, I won't be so merciful. Even if it's the 3 of you." Satsuki warned her Elite Trio as she watched them evacuate the other students

But soon, the 2 would be intercepted by surpsise by a huge flaming breath coming from Ryuko's belly mouth. But help would be on its way.

"It's time for my great debut! Trojan Twister!"

From then, a gigantic gust of wind who had pieces of a trojan horse managed to direct the flames towars the sky, leaving a hole on the red clouds. Not only that, but the trojan parts flew upwards and then fell down into Ryuko, shoving her into a pile of remnants of a giant wooden decoy.

"What the!?" Satsuki was absolutely surprised on who saved her, but she would soon find out on by the voice alone. "It seems that its true. I'm impressed that a monkey like you chose to swing back to Honnouji Academy, Uzu Sanageyama."

"Psht! As if I would care about your compliments now!" Sanageyama landed in front of both Akira and the leader of Honno Town with a flip jump, only to pose dramatically upon landing. He seem to be prepared for the moment he place a foot again at Honnouji Academy. And for even more surpsises, a splotlight flashed on Oni Mask's Direction while the both of them heard japaneze claps reminiscent of a Kabuki theatre.

"Behold! The debut of the new Phantom Thief Honno City desired!" The Oni Masked Thief exhaled while doing another dramatic pose. "I am the wind that hit evil where it hurts it the most! I am the sword cutting the corrupt in half! I am the vigilante of the fallen North Kanto gang!" And from there, Sanageyama's Persona manisfested. Just like the real Bellerophon, it consisted of a overly muscular man riding a white Pegasus. But the Greek deity seem to wear a tattered leather jacket, a punk biker helment, blue jeans and black boots while holding a spear while for the Pegasus seem to be covered on a silver armor and a beautiful green male. "I, am, the Greaaaaaaat ONI MASK!" Sanageyama bellowed while doing another dramatic pose, waiting some sort of compliment for the 2.

But what he did received was an akward silence from everyone, even the Berserked Ryuko froze in place from just watching that super-akward entance in the middle of nowhere.

"You know, I don't really seem the point of being a Phantom Thief when our enemies know our identities." Mona walked in with some bruises on his body being visible for everyone to see.

"Any information on Harime Mona?" Joker asked his cat before passing him a Devil Fruit for the cat to eat and replenish his health, alongside one of Mako's croqutttes.

"Tsumugu seems to been holding back Nui quite well. Even though he's able to throw hands against her, I doubt that he will resist any longer." He informed the leader of the Phantom Thieves. It wouldn't take him long enough to notice Uzu's new clothes. "Well then, seems that you finally awaken your Persona. To be honest, considering how reckless and rebellious you mostly are, it's surprises me on how long it took you to awaken." The creation of the Velvet Room snarked at Oni Mask. It surprised both Joker and Mona to find out that people indeed are capable of awakening Personas in this world.

"Uh… HEY! No need to be all that smug, you piece of shit! Hell, how can you act so wise if you're only a cat?" Sanageyama hissed in anger at the cat before preparing another attack for Ryuko. "I'll show you how much I have improved. Hiya!" Sanageyama then threw out a gust of sharp wind against the monster. But unfortunately, Ryuko just deflected it by casting Makrakarn just like Joker. Sanageyama was lucky to dodge his own attack thanks to his Tengatsu. "Sheesh! One move there and I would be dead for sure."

"Typical of beginners." Morgana sighted In annoyance. "Your moves are sloppy. You need to watch over your opponent's moves and strike when they're weak." Morgana scolded the teenager.

"Are you all done with your petty chat?" Satsuki asked the thieves to try them regain concentration on their main target. "And you're still as reckless as ever Sanageyama. No matter for now! Stay behind my lead and I shall lead you to victory!" The Kiryuin then sprinted herself into the monster teenage girl. The wild card and the cat followed the matriach's lead.

"H-hey! I don't take orders form you anymore, dammit!" Sanageyama let a stomp in frustration, but everyone was mostly busy on following the lady of war's plan. So he had no other choice but to follow his piers.

"Ryuko Matoi!" Satsuki screamed the name of the nuisance of Honnouji Academy before launching a sword beam alongside 2 Junketsu eye missiles against the girl.

"SatZuK-1-i1 KlrY.2UIN!" Matoi then smashed the ground, creating a ground red energy proyectile coming toward the School Council President.

Once both attacks clashed, it created an explosion massive enough to please a pyromaniac. But of course, the winner of such fight between power was the Kiryuin thanks to her willpower, making Matoi take steps back.

"Gotcha! Kougaon!" Akira then launched a barrage of 3 pillars of light coming from the sky to combo the attack, making the mutated tomboy grunt in pain. "Morgana, let's go!" Akira quickly slid between the monster's legs as she tried to stab him with the scissor arm, giving a high-five to pass the baton to Mona.

"Time to put my paws into action!" Mona exclaimed before casting a small healing Skill on Kurusu. Mona climbed the abomination's body and poked her to call up her attention. Once it did, the monster didn't though it twice before attacking with a double dark laser beam coming from both mouths. But the Phantom Thief was more aginle for the monster to grasp upon. Of course, from facing all sorts of Palace rulers, it gives you experience in the job. "You're better than this, Senketsu. So try to control your impulses!" Morgana cried to the Kamui before summoning Diego.

"K1llL…" The lower mouth grunted in bloodlust. "KIIILL!" The mutated Senketsu attacked the cat burglar with another fire breath.

"Oh no, you don't!" Sanageyama used Bellerophon's Garula to control the flames once more. "Sendin' it right back at ya!" Oni Mask quickly pushed the flames back at Ryuko. And since the monster is made out of Life Fibers, it provoked severe injuries on it. "Ha! How about that? 1 week later and I'm still better than you, Matoi! Come on!"

"Don't get too arrogant again!" Morgana wanted to remind the green monkey about his downfall. "This will sure give us an advantage! Pulinpa!" Morgana then thew out 4 light projectiles that his Ryuko, making her vision to become blurrier. "Hey Uzu! It's up to you!" Morgana then boosted himself once again with the bleach bazooka, hitting Ryuko with the rocket while passing the batton to Oni Mask.

As for Gamagori, he was done on rescuing the students laying all over the Academy, but his mood would soon change up once he saw the Mankanshoku family risking their lives to save students too. "Mankanshoku? What are you doing here? It's too dangerous to walk around these parts!"

"Oh, hi Gamagori. Ren told us to help with the rescue and treating of the students. Don't worry, we're having this under control!" Mako clarified by giving a positive thumb up to the former chair of the Disciplinary Committee.

"Hey! Maybe we can have something in return for shortening your job don't we?" Barazo came out from the window to seek compensation for their good deed, but he was just smacked by Mataro with a paper fan.

"You gotta be shitting me dad! I though you were already over that!" The youngest child of the Mankanshoku family scolded his father for wanting some ssort of reward.

Gamagori sighted at the oddities of the family of the slums, just to later watch Ren, Satsuki, Sanageyama and Morgana trade punches against Ryuko. He then looked at Mako, then to Ryuko, then to Mako, and then to Ryuko. "Now that I think about it… Mankanshoku, if you want to save your friend, I think I have a plan."

"Heh! Now's my time to shine!" Sanageyama rubbed his neck before starting his assault. The monster girl tried to reach Sanageyama, but the dude was too agile and fast it was like trying to catch a fly with your hand. And being confused didn't help at all. "Ahhh! MEN!" Without opening the case of his new sword, Oni Mask smacked Ryuko on her disfigured head. "DO!" He then hit her on her stomach. "KOTE!" And finally, on her legs. "MEN! DO! KOTE! MEN! DO! KOTE! MEN! DO! KOTE!" Sanageyama was about to then take the final blow. "Gyaaaah! SKULL CRACKER!" Sanageyama alongside his new Persona deliver a powerful head-butt, inflicting huge damage against the monster. Thus, causing her to leak less blood. But she was still about to give more fight.

"Where do you think you're going?" A badly beaten Tsumugu then pressed a remote button, causing explosions all around Akira's pillar, making it fall over Ryuko. Luckily, Sanageyama managed to get out of the way before being crushed, but the same cannot be said for Matoi. Although suriviving, she was stunned by the magnitude of the crumble that fell upon her.

"What are you waiting for? Calm that girl already!" Tsumugu walke between the group to remind them about their main mission.

"Strange. The last time a nudist helped me, it was mostly indirectly." Satsuki commented without losing her sight on her target.

"Where you think you're going, silly?" Nui joined the conversation, ready to strike Tsumugu, but her Scissor Blade would soon be blocked by Morgana and Sanageyama's weapons.

"We'll hold back Nui Harime! You 2 make sure to make Ryuko come back to her senses!" the burglar cat informed Satsuki before the 3 would be run over by clones.

"I hate to admit it, but your friends are right." Satsuki closed her eyes to push away her pride for a moment and let her common sense take the wheel. "Let's take down Ryuko Matoi with our combined streght!"

On that moment, the Wishing Star Jose gave Joker that was being hold on one of his pockets began to shine. One Joker noticed the glow, he looked back at the Kiryuin and smirked. "Alright, It's Showtime!"

SHOWTIME!

Both Joker and Satsuki were standing on 2 pillars with each one holding a banner. Joker's had the symbol of the Phantom Thieves of Heart while the one the Kiryuin holds has the symbol of Honnouji Academy, not to mention that Joker was emitting a crimson red light while his rival flashed a pure white light.

Both teenagers pulled out their best weapons and sprinted against one another. Each time their blades clashed with one another, mountains around them began to tear down due to the magnitude of their power alone.

Both Kurusu and Kiryin continued to trade hits for some time, until the both of them looked straight at the monstrous Ryuko. They redirected their attack against the monster, causing a gigantic explosion all around them.

After that, the sworn enemies landed back at the grounds of Honnouji Academy on both of their feet. But the same cannot apply to Ryuko that received a gigantic beatdown and was lying a big crater.

"I can say that for our first time making a team, it was quite nice. I wonder how you do it to create those pocket dimensions?" Satsuki asked the Phantom Thief about how he was able to use those Showtime attacks.

Joker was as clueless as she. The only thing he knew is that Jose's Wishing star was the major factor on how he was able to pull these sorts of Showtime attacks out of the blue. "I'll go check if Ryuko is calmed." He informed the Kiryuin before approaching the monstrous berserker who seem to barely able to move her twisted limbs.

Kurusu placed her hand into Ryuko's arm. Of course, she did not took it lightly by hissing at the thief. Her body still was hot, but not to the point of burning like hell. It rather felt, warm… "Hmmm… Seems that you stopped leaking blood. But, how can I turn you back to normal?" Ren asked himself. Thinking about every major solution he could find. That's when he got an idea, but first he had to de-transform.

"G-o0… A vVaY!.11!" The monstrous teenager snarled at the thief from the other world, feeling some sort of antagonism against the boy who once saved her life. "G,0 VMaY…"

"How pitful… Still thinking that you can make a difecence by talking." Satsuki was growing impatient by these friendship moments and decided to draw her blade. She was approaching Ren, ready to decapitate the monster once and for all.

"Lady Satsuki! Wait!"

The voice of her shield made the empress stop her road for a moment. "It surprises me on how recently you've been disapproving my just actions. What is your excuse now, Gamagori?"

Gamagori felt an arrow pierce through her chest by Satsuki's cold words of disapproval. But he still wants to redeem himself and do what he thinks he must do for the sake of Honnouji Academy, even if it risks his position. "Forgive me for disapproving your actions, Lady Satsuki. But, I think I found a better solution." Ira then hold Mako from one of his hands and released her.

"Ryuko?" Mako eyes were beginning to become blurrier by the soon-to-be river of tears. "RYUUKO!" The bouncy bunny ran as fast as she could toward her friend, hugginh her in the process and ignoring the hot temperatures the monster. "Please Ryuko! Stop! Stop destroying everything for no reason!" She cried in sadness and sorrow on what Ryuko has transformed.

"Mankanshoku?" Satsuki cringed at watching Mako trying to tame the beast in front of her.

"Just watch and see, Lady Satsuki." Gamagori persuade his mistress onto having faith in the No-Star. "Mako Mankanshoku may not be smart, neither athletic or serious. But if there's someone out there that can calm down Ryuko Matoi, is her."

"Pfft. Geez, I swear… I hate comic reliefs that interrupt a badass fight scene." Nui walked by before pulling out her Scissor Blade. "Anyways, let me take care of that pest for ya' Lady Satsu-" Soon, she was stopped by Tsumugu, Morgana, Satsuki, Gamagori, Sanageyama, Jakuzure and Inumuta. With the bonus of Hakodate pointing on her head if necessary.

"STAY, WHERE, YOU ,ARE!" The group bellowed at the Grand Couturier from ruining the emotive scene.

"Pwelase Ryuko! Remember what you told me? About not wanting to avenge your dad and just know what happened to him? How are you supposed to know when you're a monster like me?" Mako tried to make her remember who Ryuko was. And even though the grotesque mutant tried to pull of the Dreamy girl out of her, all of her efforts were useless.

"Ryuko… I, may not know what you have gone through, but I'm sure as hell on what your heart truly desires. Like what Mankanshoku said, all you ever wanted was to know more about your dad. You never strive for vengeance or anything… I don't know how or why your dad dump you into boarding school, it could either be because he didn't cared you about at all, or maybe because he wanted to protect you by not association you with your work." Ren added to reason with Matoi. "But what stays in the past, stays in the past. I'm sorry for sounding too repetitive, but if you cling into the past and refuse to keep moving forward, it won't do any good at all! How are you supposed to find out the truth of your father's past if you let your emotions transform you into this monster? Is there something inside your heart you're rejecting, some sort of twisted desire?"

"Ma-.,k0… VK1ra…" The monstrous Matoi grunted, seeming to take back control slowly.

"Ren is right! Y-you're acting like when I put on that dumb Goku Uniform and began to hit you! I wasn't thinking straight because I left that stupid Fight Club turn me evil!" Mako cried in desperation, making the monster remember the events prior to the Natural Elections. "Remember? When I acted all horrible to you and let out stupid nonsense? You and Ren made sure to put me straight! Now it's our turn to put you straight! I'm begging you! Turn back to normal!" Mako then strike Ryuko's head with a forward palm, snapping her neck.

Thoughs on Ryuko's mind began to flow like a river once Mako gave her the reality palm. Until she heard a voice.

The path toward womanhood can be hard and stressful… And more once the entire world is against you.

It is truly a biased and unjust game, but with help of your bonds, it is still possible to turn the tides, pierce and cut the clothes that covers the land, sea and skies. You can make your heart be the one that creates the heavens. All you need, is a little push, and turn back…

A velvet blue butterfly passed by Ryuko, with the girl watching it flutter.

"tvRn., B-aciK..?"

Ren then looked directly at Ryuko's eyes without fear. "Ryuko, Senketsu, if you both desire to turn back to normal or stay like this, is your choice alone." Ren told them before the Mankanshoku family surrounded the monster and began to hug her alongside Mako. "Just remember, if you still wish to know more about your dad, you're not alone. There will be people trying to help you in your journey. It's only a matter of accepting that help…" Akira then hugged the mutant with love and care alongside the rest of the Mankanshoku.

"T.-urn,… BsxaCk…" It seems that Ryuko's voice began to become less distorted as the Life Fibers on Senketsu began to calm down slowly every time she said Turn Back. "T!u2vRn-Bo|(K… TuRn BaCk… Turn Back… Turn Back…" She repeatly said before bursting a green explosion of Spiral Power, leaving Ryuko unconscious on a de-transformed state.

"Well, guess the power of friendship wins once again." Maiko shrugged, being a bit tired of this type of cliché.

"God… That kid, actually did it…" Tsumugu was left without words. Seems that even when Ryuko and her Kamui were on a point beyond salvation, Akira and Mako were capable of tame the Kamui with ease. Maybe, he was strict with the new recruit. Perhaps he mistreated Senketsu, it seems that people and clothing can be friends after all.

"Mako… Ren… Thank You…" Ryuko thanked both of her friends for having her back once again. It took Ren by surprise that Matoi referred him by his nickname. Once after that, she passed away.

"Uh?" Mako bliked looking at the unconscious Ryuko. "Ryuko!? RYUKO!? PLEASE DON'T DIE!"

"She is okay, Mako." Akira informed Mankanshoku, while placing both of his fingers into one of her hands, still feeling that Ryuko's heart beating. "She's only tired and needs rest. Guys, I'll recommend you take her to your home."

"Roger!" The Mankanshoku family saluted before carrying Ryuko into their van and returning to the slums. Not before carrying a bag of cash that Gamagori gave them in return for their services, but not to much to the point of making them drown in their own greed. But besides, they already learned their lesson.

"Well now, seems that everything worked well in the end." Morgana smiled while walking toward the Phantom Thief, not before noticing the tan over Kurusu's body. "Holy cow! I didn't knew that Ryuko's body was that hot!"

"Heh… Have you seen the size of her boobs?" Ren joked, not caring about his cartoony tan after all.

Sanageyama then approached the duo, accompanied by Tsumugu from all people surprisingly. "So then, how do you thing of my performance? Pretty neat, huh?"

"I mean, I've seen better. But I also seem worse…" Ren added his opinion onto the debut of Oni Mask, the hero of justice. "Hmm… Noticing by your clothes, I guess your heart has allowed you to become a Phantom Thief. But, I don't think Oni Mask would be a good nickname for one."

"Hey! I think is cool! Maybe you're jealous!" Sanageyama fumed a little for Joker's movement.

Joker softly smiled at the green-haired nudist. He was glad that his actions were allowing others to tap into the power of their soul. He then turned at Tsumugu, who surprisingly looked… Happy. "Huh… Or the end of the world is coming sooner, or did I saw you smiling?"

"What? Do you have a problem with people smiling?" Tsumugu looked at Akira, seemingly relief that the girl is okay. "But well, I can't hide it for ya' cuz' you'll just want to find out eventually."

"Let me guess, there are 2 things we need to know?" Mona turned where the nudist was, which he shook his head in response. He just didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Well… I've been thinking lately about what you said back, about if my actions being what my sister would really want…" Tsumugu's voice then cut silent for a brief moment before continuing. "My sis had a true sense of justice. She was smart, strong, and brave… I always admired her, it was like a mother figure to me that was against the whole world after knowing the truth behind the Kiryuin clan. After she died on one of our experiments, I foolishly let my rage and sense of vengeance cloud my vision and just go apeshit crazy with everyone who wore Life Fibers. If my sis' were to still live, she would smack me in the face for trying to throw that Kamui into an arson. Maybe she was right… After watching how hard you hold your friendships with Ryuko and Senketsu, I can assume that people and clothing can indeed be friends… And for that…" Kinagase then looked directly at Akira and gave a thumbs up. "You have both my respect and my grattitudes. For now on, I won't treat ya' as some sort of naïve and stupid brat, but rather as a companion, a companion that we'll live and die as naked apes. But this doesn't mean that you can go soft now… We're still struggling against the alien parasites. So unless we don't exterminate the last one of them, we have to be stuck as nudists for the world to see."

Akira was pretty surprised on Tsumugu's relief and satisfaction. To think that in the first time, he would just end up as some sort of very stoic adult, he now has a true ally to count on. He was glad about that, and he would feel his bond with Tsumugu was becoming stronger…

I am thou, thou art i…

Thou hast acquired a new vow.

It shall become the wings of rebellion, that shall breaketh thy clothing of captivity.

With the Rebirth of the Justice Persona,

Thou have retrieved a power dormant within the soul

That shall leave to salvation, and new power…

Thanks to his new bond with Kinagase, the Justice Arcana card fell toward Kurusu's fingers, indicating that Metatron is back online to take flight once more. It was odd, but he swore he heard SHAZTEEEZ! Somewhere… Still, he was glad of having a Justice confidant once again.

But soon their small conversation would end once the Kiryuin walked nearby the 4 nudists on a de-transformed state. "I hope that the 4 of you are done with your petty talk." She contested while having her Elite soldiers behind her. Although, Satsuki looks weak for the overuse of her Kamui and Shadow-Self

"Great. Seems that the eagle wants to take advantage." Tsumugu blurted before pointing her weapons at the Kiryuin. But Akira soon stopped him from shooting.

"Tsh… Even I have my limits when an eagle has a broken wing." Akira took a step forward while looking directly at the Kiryuin. "Is there something you want?"

Satsuki was silent for a moment before continuing. "Yes… It's about Sanageyama." The Kiryuin then turned her attention toward the former member of the Elite 4. "It seems that I was acting foolishly when I permanently demoted you to No-Star status. I though that you had no resolve and your defeat against Kurusu pull the last straw. But, even still you fight your way through Honnouji Academy, fully knowing that you won't return to the Student Council no matter your efforts. Now that I think about it, I was the one who was blinded all this time… But, seeing how much you have grown, I want to give you an offer…" Satsuki feeling envious about Sanageyama's Persona stretched her hand to Uzu. "I give you another chance, join the Elite 4 once again and I shall fight you once more."

"Oh… So now she is interested… How pitiful…" Morgana hissed at the Kiryuin, now wanting Uzu back on her team.

Oni Mask gasped at Satsuki's confession. The Satsuki Kiryuin wants to apologize for mistreating him, which also surprised the Elite Trio. The Green Haired monkey then looked a Kurusu if he would be pissed or not. Rather than showing antagonism, he just looked at Sanageyama and nodded, saying that whathever decision he takes, its him and his alone.

Reflecting all of his youthful years, he concludes his final decision. "Sorry Satsuki, but you lost your chance a long time ago." For no one's surprise, he chose to stay with Nudist Beach. "Remember what I always told you? Once you're done with your ambition, we will duel again to regain my honor I lost to you. I gave up a lot of things in your name. My gang, my sight and even my free will… Hoping for all of it to be at least worth it. But, I think you know already the answer. Once I joined Ren and Nudist Beach, I felt freer than ever… And still, returning to you would mean that I would defy everything my Persona stands for…" Sanageyama hold the chest part of his Phantom Thief outfit before walking toward Red. "Sorry, but I stay with the Phantom Thieves,, and have sure we shall steal your heart."

A chilling wind passed through some seconds, with no one talking or moving. The empress of Honno city took a deep breath instead of retaliating. She must admit that Saaeyama's betrayal was mostly her fault, and now she must face the consequences. "If you still want to be my enemy Sanageyama, then I don't really have anything on my disposal to change your opinion. I have no intention of fighting any one of you, but if you dare to draw your weapons against me, my Shadows can dispose the rest of you."

"Not to worry, neither I was planning to do so." Akira responded.

"Can we go already? The only thing you're doing is stalling time." Tsumugu desired to go back to the Thieves den because he was already done for today.

"Oh, by the way Uzu, I want you to meet me tomorrow sunset at the slums Junkyard. You may have awaken your Persona, but you still need to perfect your skills and learn how to not exhaust yourself quickly." Morgana informed Sanageyama before Kinagase would throw a smoke bomb around them, causing the 4 to disappear from the eyebrow queen and her troops eyes.

"Do you want me to sent a troop to dispose of the thieves tomorrow?" Gamagori requested his superior after hearing their conversation between the cat and the monkey and their schedule tomorrow.

"Don't waste our troops on battles we can't win yet, Gamagori." Satsuki denied her shield's permission to attack the 2 officers of Nudist Beach. "Aside from that, we should have our concentration tomorrow on preparing our students for the Tri-City School Raid Trip." She informed the 3. "Alright everyone, school is dismissed for today. Return to your homes immediately." She announced to all the other students of Honnouji Academy. "Inumuta, deploy the Repairment Shadow Unit and initiate an analyzis on the data provided by our battles and the Matoi's bursts of energy. Jakuzure, summon the Maids Club to clean this mess." Ragyo's child ordered the 2, which without a doubt put their minds immediately on fulfilling their given tasks. "As for you, Gamagori." Satsuki Kiryuin grabbed the giant's attention with her cold voice alone. "You have guts on defying me. But if it weren't for you, Mankanshoku and Akira, our ambition and our pride we put on HonnoujI Academy would be all for naught. I admire that, but don't dare to disobey my will once again." She warned the ex-head of the Disciplinary Committee before walking away.

Gamagori was surprised that Satsuki was, proud of her resolve. "Yes, Lady Satsuki." Ira responded while doing a bow to her.

Meanwhile, back on the walls of Honnouji, Aikuro was glad that everything worked well in the end. "Phew… A moment there and we would have lost here. Thank you, guys, for saving Ryuko and her Kamui." Mikisugi thanked the 4 who sat right next to the nudist.

"Haha! I knew my genius would soon pay off! You're welcome Honnouji Academy!" Maiko Ogure pride herself for the success of her new babies while reaccommodating her glasses on a devilish way.

"D'aw! Shut it, four eyes!" Omiko told Maiko to not let her arrogance get the best out of her. "You barely did bullshit out there!"

"No matter her look, Nui Harime is not to be toyed with." Morgana said after experiencing how much of a monster she truly is in the inside.

"What do you expect from a Life Fiber homunculus? Ragyo Kiryuin gave her will to the Life Fibers, when that sort of shit happens, monsters with the knowledge of humanity can be more scarier than a berserked Kamui wielder." Tsumugu grunted , looking at the destroyed wasteland the whole battle left out. "Well, I'll go train some more." The Mohawk adult then left the others alone as he returned to the base to refine his skills and power.

"I forgot to tell you, but thanks for letting Tsumugu be more friendly toward Senketsu. That way we don't have to worry on him letting his hatred blind him sooner or latter." The leader of Nudist Beach sighted with a glee at Akira for having Kinue's brother don't go on further rampages at any moment.

"It's kinda like my natural talent. I just want to help people after all." The wild card smiled in return.

"And speaking of rampages, I know I like to clash heads with strong dudes, but are we sure we won't have to worry about Ryuko going bonkers ever again?" Sanageyama asked Mikisugi while cleaning his Super Sentai-like suit and blade.

"Don't you mean, going bananas?"

"GAH! Stop it with the monkey jokes, shark shit!"

"Make me, Monkey brain!" It didn't took that long for Sanageyama and Omiko to antagonize one another once again. Seems that some things never change.

"Well, with Mako and Joker at our side, I'm sure Ryuko will have her emotions under control." Morgana looked at the bright side of things. "All that is left is to prepare ourselves for the worst."

"About what? No, really I forgot." Maiko flustered in embarrassment.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ren then looked at the genius with glasses. "Prepare our defenses for the Tri-City School Raid trip."

Satsuki was walking her way back to the doors of Honnouji Academy to take a nap and slip away her impulses that her Shadow-Self was providing with a warm bath. But she still has one last thing to do… She stopped her road once she crossed with her not-so-lovely sister to have a heart to heart.

"D'aw… I was hoping for a better climax than a lame-o friendship beats everything ending." Nui told her dear sis, hiding unsatisfaction under her innocent smile.

Satsuki didn't gave that much importance on Nui's whims and just narrowed at her. "This time you gone too far, Nui Harime. I hereby declare that you're banished from Honno City."

Satsuki's declaration made her raise her eyebrows. "Really? You don't have to be that harsh to moi. What would Lady Ragyo finds about this? And all I ever want to do is to help you kill Ryuko."

"I don't need help from you. I'll take care of Ryuko Matoi, Joker and his friends myself. Unless mother say otherwise if I find you snooping around my realm once again…" The Kiryuin quickly dashed near the Grand Couturier, with her Bakuzan pointing her throat and in the verge of being sliced. Nui surprisingly felt afraid of Satsuki's new powers, and feeling fear was extremely rare for her. "Sister or not, expect the next morning having my Bakuzan nailed in your Life Fiber heart. UNDERSTAND!?"

"Y-yes l-lady Satsuki…" The Grand Couturier stammered in fear.

Satsuki then placed her sword back on her case. "Good…" She muttered before heading back into the main building.

Nui alsot got herself killed if she just teased her sister in the slightest, but knowing how many times she was able to fool Honnouji Academy with her clever disguises, she can run around Honno as much as she wants. "Yeah right, you back-stabbing bitch…"


Back at the Kiryuin Manor, Ragyo Kiryuin finished from taking a warm bath on her Grand Bath. There was something that love about being in the bath built by the most expensive sculptures the Kiryuin Clan could buy, and even then, if that was the case, the budget spent on the structures can be equivalent of an entire country's economy. But for the Kiryuins, it was like giving spare change to a homeless man. Whenever a nation makes one billion dollars a year, REVOCS gains the same amount multiplied by 2 or even 10 times under a second. Being the CEO of one of the biggest and soon to be only clothing company in the world can drown you in money if we count that they are like 7.8 billion humans in the world, each in need of clothing to cover their naked bodies.

But Ragyo and her ancestors could care less about how much money they make. She only sees it as another mean to fulfill her ambitions. The only thing that she truly loves within her Life Fiber soul, is to serve and be worn by the Life Fibers. She just can't help it. She lives and dies for these Parasitical Aliens. She never intends to betray them or enslave them for her selfish needs. She is just another servant, a puppet, a voice for the Life Fibers. And she loved every second of it. She in fact is so obsessed that she infused herself with Life Fibers. Unlike Nui Harime, her Life Fibers come directly from the Primordial Life Fibers, not only making her eve stronger than Satsuki and Harime combine, but also granting her super-human abilities and the ability to wear a Kamui, transforming her into the ultimate Spiral Life Form of her world. This is indeed by the fact she has 7 star-shape scars on her back. Ever since childhood, her mother already chosen her destiny for her, and she chose it to follow it without any questions or remorse. Proving that inside that Demi-God complex of her, lies her weak Willpower. If the Primordial Life Fiber would ask her to kill herself, she would without even thinking about thinking about it.

But her curiosity over the Phantom Thief sure made her quite obsessive of him. He's truly an amazing man… Being able to change people's cognition by stealing a person's manifestation of its twisted desires, much like how Life Fibers stitched in people's REVOCS clothing are able to manipulate their cognition and limit on what they can see and hear. Although, when it takes a whole board of Politics to manipulate a country's minds, Ragyo Kiryuin can completely overhaul people's cognition and even will from all over the world with just a tip of her fingers. Although, it's strange that this "Joker" has the power to manifest his Personas without being at the Metaverse, but she already know the reason, to know that they're residents from another plane of existence who are against the Spiral Nemesis' will. How foolish of them… Now thanks to them, the multiverse soon will cease to exist. All in the name of the Life Fibers.

The matriarch soon walked toward her massive closet that is as big as Honnouji Academy's laboratory. Dozens and dozens of white COVERS were being hanged in. Each one in the style of different types of clothings for every occasion. Ragyo denies to wear any kind of clothes, unless it's 100% pure Life Fibers or are stated as "Beautiful" on her perspective. Life Fibers are her entire world, it's like oxygen to her.

"Now, which one of you beauties shall adore my body today!?" Ragyo raised her hands, waiting for one of her sentient sets of clothing to respond her call. It was none other that her favorite feather dress who obey the white woman's call.

At the roof of the Mansion, Rei and Kuroido were waiting for their mistress to arrive, which a helicopter was waiting for Ragyo alone. She had an appointment with the UNO about political issues. No matter if it is about clothing or not, the Kiryuin Conglomerate has its evil and disgusting fingers on everything. Although, she is still working on providing REVOCS uniforms to schools outside her country.

HEEL CLICK!

With the noise of a heel click, the enigmatic rainbow light flashed all around the secretary, the steward, and the dozens of maids and bodyguards, alongside its emitter making her entrance to see over her dogs. "I'm sorry I'm late, Hoomaru." The "Mother" of Rei apologized, without expressing any emotion of remorse.

"You're not late Lady Ragyo, it's the world who was too early." Hoomaru bowed to her boss' presence.

"Although, we so happen to have a problem in our hands, Lady Ragyo." Kuroido bowed alongside the secretary to give the news.

"And what it is, Kuroido?" Satsuki asked her favorite sadistic butler.

"It's the Grand Corturier. She payed a visit to Lady Satsuki without her permitting." Takijiki informer her goddess. "You know how your daughter acts when Ms. Harime enters Honno town without you telling her about it."

If there something Ragyo loves in this world aside for Life Fibers, is total control over everything. It just run through the Kiryuin lineage to have an obsession over order and domination over everything that and doesn't move. So having chaotic children can make her lose her holy temper. But for her, Nui Harime was a massive exception. She just cackled on what she was noticed about. "Fufufufufufu… How wonderful… Sister paying a visit to her dear sister to help." The Kiryuin responded before twirling her hair with her slender fingers. "But I can't help it. Yo know how Nui Harime is a free spirit, right? Her imagination is as important to our plan as my precious Satsuki luring teenagers into becoming slaves to the COVERS. I'm just a mother fulfilling her daughter's whims." Ragyo added to her explanation before looking up, seeing a humanoid figure descending from the sky. "And speaking of the devil… Welcome back, Grand Corturier." The envoy of the Life Fibers looked at the Life Fiber abomination descending with her Parasoul like mary poppins before landing on land.

"Hihihi! Bonjour to you too, Lady Ragyo." Nui Harime did a small bow of greetings to her "mother" after returning from Honnouji Academy. "Oh! You're going to a super-serious meeting, aren't ya?" She asked the director of Honnouji Academy.

"Yes. I won't be here for a while, so I'll want to task you 3 to watch over the manor for me, won't ya?" The Kiryuin slowly walked to the helicopter that would take her to her destination.

"Yes, Lady Ragyo." Kuroido, Harime and Hoomaru said at the same time.

Ragyo looked at her 3 favorite pets with a soft smile. "Good." She responded with a glee. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, but the Primordial Life Fiber has chosen to give you something that could help us domesticate the lost lamb by the name of Akira Kurusu. Hoomaru, if you please?"

Rei was silent for some moments before taking a breath. "Yes, Lady Ragyo." Hoomaru, feeling envious on what Nui Harime was receiving, gave the Grand Corturier a box who later opened. "Here's an artifact originated from Akira Kurusu's dimension." The artifact mentioned had the form of a revolver with the letter S.E.E.S. encrypted on it. "Nudist Beach's forces are becoming stronger by each passing second. So in order to counter its Persona wielders, the Primordial Life Fibers provided you with this. All you need to do is to shoot yourself to summon a Persona."

"OOOH! Shiny!" Nui quickly grabbed the pistol and began to play with it first. "Thanks daddy, this is the best non-birthday present ever!" Nui quickly pointed Rei's head with the revolver. Being the obnoxious sibling that she is, it was quite predictable. "Hmm… I'm always wonder how would your Persona look like, will it be adorbs or an ugly, icky jucky monster?"

The secretary didn't took even a second to disarm Nui from her weapon. Even when she is the sanest person of the We-will-make-the-earth-explode-for-some-threads cult (Which is saying a lot), she was still strong enough to defend herself from Nui Harime or even give a fight to the Elite 4. And that's from someone who isn't a hybrid or rarely fights with Life Fibers. "That thing is to battle Akira. It is not a toy!" Rei Hoomaru hissed at the Lolita before giving her back her Evoker.

"Now, now… No need for sister to fight for such trivial things. I'm planning for the both of you to get Personas, of course." Ragyo calmed down the 2 before they could get in even further conflict. "Although Hoomaru, I need you to get closer to Akira to do so. Once you see him again, try to have a chat with him until the both of you form a bond. Won't you?" Ragyo recommended Rei, so she could have 2 Persona wielders in her side in the future. Being someone weak minded and always giving her free will to the Life Fibers made Ragyo absolutely impossible to awaken a Persona for herself, but not for her 2 daughters.

Rei flastered at Ragyo's order. She was tasked on befriending one of REVOCS' greatest enemies. But knowing how she and Akira has same ideals and it could prove crucial to the Kiryuin's plan, she had no other choice but to accept. "As you say, Lady Ragyo."

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Nui stopped her mama from continuing since she has something to tell her. "You see, Lady Satsuki told me that I cannot go to Honno City anymore. What a bummer, don't you thin?" She puffed her cheeks in anger for what Satsuki order her to do.

"That's what you get for meddling with the Kiryuin's busissnes without their concern, Grand Corturier." Rei reminded Harime that it was her fault for being banished, as she reaccommodated her glasses.

"Hush… Don't need to be so harsh on Nui, Hoomaru. I'll make sure to resolve this proble. After all, I am the director of Honnouji Academy." Ragyo continued to walk her way to the helicopter and seat on the traveler's seat. "Oh! I almost forgot. The Primordial Life Fiber shall send us 2 special guests, so I hope you receive them with your must love and care. So no "Special Treatments" Kuroido."

"Y-yes, Lady Ragyo…" Kuroido grunted. Being a bit annoyed that he wasn't gonna spend his time torturing more prisoners.

"Bye mama!" the obnoxious blonde waved goodbye, watching the helicopopter take flight to Ragyo's destination.

Inside the helicopter, the head of the Kiryuin clan took out 2 photos. One of Ryuko Matoi and the other of Akira Kurusu, grinning on the most evil way possible. "Yes… Die Stücke kommen alle zusammen."


And back in the world where demons and angels fight for the balance of Gaten city, Garterbelt the priest has finished his meeting with the Spiral King and the benevolent god. "Oh, now yo' tell me that they got da kid's Persona's arcanas all messed up! Well, can't complain', What do I look like? A fuckin' god or what?"

"Oh yes! Harder! Harder! Oooh!" The moans of Panty were being heard all over the cathedran, which really pissed off the black priest.

"I'm off for 5 damn minutes and that godamn slut is already suckin' someone else's dick! Holy shit!" Garterbelt snarled while walking upstairs with a special shotgun to punish the fallen angel. He slammed the door and loaded his holy weapon. "Alright Panty, since yo' are hungry, open wide and get a load of holy love down yo a-"

Garterbelt then stopped, only to realized that the moans of Panty were caused by Nova picking the blode's nose, which was one of her favorite hobbies.

"What the crap Garterbelt!? Can't a fucking woman dig her boogers in peace?" Panty threw a lamp against the immortal priest's face, which it hurt, but it didn't made him flinch on the absolute.

"Oh, sorry… It's just that she asked me to clear her nose Do not worry, I've put myself some gloves before proceeding." The former member of the Space Patrol responded, showing both of his hands covered in latex gloves.

Garterbelt still has some raised eyebrows about the young nothingling's words. He pulled out his vignin-o-meter and began to scan Nova. "Yup, you're as much as a virgin as da' average redditor." Garterbelt then remember something. "Hey, where da' hell is Briefs?"

"Oh, about geek boy?" Panty then went to her closet to open it, revealing the poor descendant of Hell's monkey all tied up and falling into the floor. "The fucker couldn't shut up about protecting me and other shit. And you think that I'm the one thirsty here."

"I-I'm sorry Garter! I couldn't let Panty get, get g-get-"

"Get fucked and you gettin' cucked? Sum souls surly are pitful." The black priest sighted in frustration. He rather than feeling like a holy father guiding the lost lambs of his tempry for the side of good, he mostly feels like a babysitter watching over a ball of brats constantly breaking stuff… But his relief of annoyance soon will become one of fear once he felt an alien prescence on the air… "Oh shit…" He cursed before loading his gun once again. "They're here…"

There was a creepy silence on the air on that moment. Not a single noice between the 4 has heard. It was only Garterbelt preparing to blown up some living clothes from space, a tied up orange teenager, a blonde middle-schooler and a slut.

"What the fu-" Before Panty could finish her sentence, a crack in the sky of the roof appeared, resulting on a part of the fabric of their reality to shatter and sprout out a great number of Life Fiber tentacles that grasped Nova and Brief.

"KYAH! NONONONO! I DON'T WANT TO BE USED FOR AN EVIL CULT AGAIN! GYAAAA!" Brief squirmed and shook in pain as he alongside Nova-kun were being slowly pulled into Ryuko's world by the tentacles. But unlike the geek boy, the nothinling tried his best to get out of his predicament. But all of his attemps were utter failure.

"Hey! No one rapes geek boy except me!" Panty quickly resolve to violence while transforming her panties into her guns, shooting out holy bullets against the monster tentacles, but each one of them also proven to be useless.

"Don't waste bullets on those monsters Panty! Don't ya know how much does it take to reload those muthafockers?"

"Bite me asshole! You're just sitting there doing nothing while claiming to be doing something!" Panty then used her tiny brain and try to pull the tentacle to see if she could save the 2 hotties.

Chuck joined the party as he bit one of the tentacles and grasped on it.

"Those… sons of a bitches!" Garter tried to also pull the tentacles out of there, but just like Panty and Chuck, he got trapped between the tentacles.

"GAH! I DON'T WANT TO BE ON A CROSSOVER PLEAEE! ADHADHHAHAHAAAAA!" Brief exclaimed pure nonsuspense before everyone on the group would get abducted into the Kill la Kill world, without leaving a single trace.


Meanwhile, in the deepest of space…

Beep! Beep!

"Huh? It's a signal! What? N-nova-Kun? D-don't worry, I'll come for you!"

Diary of Satsuki Kiryuin.

To think I would write on such trivial things like diaries, but I had to write down the experiences I gained through the Natural Elections. Knowing fully well that my army was not strong enough to stand against Joker, hereby my mother… I've chose to weed out the weak, lazy and useless out of Honnouji Academy and sort the best my stronghold has to offer in the form of a 7-days Battle royale. Although, seems that my plan has been slightly disrupted by Akira with heling the No-Stars… I've also received reports that Takaharu Fukuroda was scheming into entering the School Council by force. Thankfully, the united forces of the Gran Couturier, Ira Gamagori and Akira were able to neutralize the fool once and for all. But what it concerns me is how Akira is forging bonds with my Elite squad.

Every time he makes friends, he becomes stronger. So I have to gain power, even if it costs my life. Infusing Junketsu with his Persona Fragments wasn't enough, even when I was able to tame my Shadow, I still need more power. That is why I asked Iori into making a Full Life Fiber dress for Junketsu to absorb and evolve my Kamui. But it's only a one-time use only, so I have to save it for Akira…

When we took on the King of the Hill Final Battle, he was able to sneak in. I admitted the fool into our tournament to gather more data on him, and still managed to also take advantage of us. Even when outclassed, he always found a way to turn the tides. It seems that he truly is a wild card.

As for Ryuko Matoi, she seems to not be left behind. She was able to tap into this Spiral Energy… Did my mother ever told me about this? But once the finals took place, Nui Harime interrupted the battle and managed to make Ryuko go out of control, almost resulting in the total destruction of Honnouji Academy. Fortunately, the united forces of me, the Elite Trio, the Phantom Thieves, Sanageyama who managed to awaken a Persona and the Anti-Uniform Guerilla were capable of stopping my "Sister's scheme".

All this makes me stressed, but the Sports and Cultural Festival is alsmot there… if I don't manage to recruit Akira into my side before then, my plan shall not come into full fruition knowing the limitless power my mother posseses. But once I take my revenge against my mother for taking away my father and my baby sister, this masquerade will finally have its conclusion.


Phew! At last! The Natural Elections Arc has conclude, but we're still on the 2nd act. Now we're entering my favorite parts of the fanfic, so I hope you all write down any criticism that could help me or point out errors or potholes. Feel free to ask me any questions.
